Wills, Trusts, and Estate Planning
I’m H. Brent Williams, licensed attorney for over twenty years. I keep a small, client-focused practice, centered on wills, trusts, and estate planning serving Boise and the Treasure Valley. I look forward to gaining a clear understanding of your goals, exploring your options, and providing you with an estate plan that fits your unique needs.
Protect your family's future.
An estate plan is more than deciding who gets what; it protects your assets while you are alive, arranges care for you and your family if you become incapacitated, protects the financial future of your loved ones, and helps establish your legacy.
PROTECT YOUR ASSETS
Asset protection involves a carefully structured, multi-layer approach to protecting your assets. Every adult should take at least basic steps to protect their assets and especially professionals, property investors, and business owners.
PLAN FOR INCAPACITY
Did you know that over 70% of us will be mentally incapacitated before we die? That is why it's important to put together a plan protecting your familiy and yourself in the case you lose your mental capabilities.
PROTECTING FUTURES
How we give can matter as much as what we give. The AARP estatimates that the average cost of probate is 10% of an estate's value. A carefully designed family estate plan can reduces costs and taxes while also protecting your heirs and beneficiaries.
BUSSINESS PLANNING & SUCCESSION
Businesses can play an important role in asset protection and estate planning. Closely held businesses present particular challanges when it comes to inheritance: the transfer of ownership, the valuation, the potential capital gains, and ensuring the future success of the business.
ARRANGE SPECIAL CARE
Long term care for loved ones can present special challanges and require careful planning. Special needs trusts are an important tool in the continued care of loved ones who need long-term support. Careful planning can avoid conflicts with government support streams.
PEACE OF MIND
Knowing that you have a professionally prepared estate plan can give you the peace of mind that should something unforeseen happen, you you have taken care of your loved ones.
Designing Your Plan
The estate planning process creates a complete picture of your current estate and objectives, involves you in the design of your estate, and ensures proper execution and compliance with legal formalities.
