Then, we will prepare a statement of position for you, which lists your assets and liabilities and the asset or liability holder.
Finally, we will workshop your estate plan and map it out in your estate plan diagram. This diagram will outline your wishes for your will, enduring power of attorney and any additional steps needed to give effect to your estate plan.
