Why Estate Planning? Devastation hit Andrew early in life as he watched his elderly grandmother battle illness for several years.  At her passing, it became clear Andrew’s grandmother left behind many items and assets but no guidance as to who should receive them.  Andrew’s grieving family was not prepared for the subsequent familial disputes over anything and everything — sentimental heirlooms, the reimbursement of medical expenses (which, for years, had been improperly “advanced” by family members), and even worthless items.  Simply put, the relational damage within the family should have been easily avoided by the execution of even a simple estate plan.  Through these unfortunate experiences, Andrew grew passionate about helping families find customized solutions for their unique situations.  His favorite part of his practice is intently listening to his clients in deciphering their “legacy goals”, whether positioning the children to carry on a charitable strategy benefiting the local community or developing a thorough succession plan allowing a family business to thrive for generations to come.
