Which is better, a will or a trust? In the unfortunate event that you pass away or become incapacitated, you will need to allocate your assets and belongings to loved ones.

Regardless of what brings you to our office, we offer free consultations that will allow us to discuss your unique situation and analyze all of your options. Call Markell Estate Planning & Elder Law today to set up an appointment.
