Customized Estate Planning Services

At G. Martin Johnson, Ltd., we offer a package of estate planning services tailor-made to protect your estate when you die or at any time you should become unable to manage your own affairs. Together, we can explore which of the following options would be most beneficial to your comprehensive estate plan:

For clients with minor children, we may recommend creating a spendthrift trust to ensure that minors will not have free access to their estate before they are mature enough to handle it. Our firm also helps blended families select estate planning options that account for their unique concerns.

The goal of all estate planning is to make sure your assets go where you want them to go. One important step in this process is to make sure the titling of assets is consistent with the terms and conditions of your will and trust. If not, these inconsistencies can cause time-consuming and costly delays in probate.

Minimizing Tax Consequences of Asset Transferring

There are many tools available that enable the transfer of assets to beneficiaries with minimum or no tax consequences. These include:

  • Establishing joint tenancy on real estate
  • Naming beneficiaries on IRAs, 401(k)s and other retirement plans
  • Establishing payable on death (POD) arrangements on bank accounts
