Estate Planning

Kiehn|Sanchez helps individuals and families protect their assets, plan for incapacity, and ensure their wishes are carried out through clear and enforceable estate planning documents. Whether your goals involve providing for loved ones, minimizing tax burdens, or avoiding probate, our estate planning and tax attorneys deliver customized legal solutions tailored to your needs.

Wills & Testamentary Planning

A valid will lets you control the distribution of your property, name guardians for minor children, and appoint an executor. Without one, state law determines how your estate is divided.

We assist with:

  • Drafting or updating last wills and testaments

  • Naming personal representatives and guardians

  • Addressing specific bequests and residuary gifts

  • Incorporating funeral or final wishes

Trusts & Asset Protection

Trusts offer greater flexibility, privacy, and asset protection than a simple will. Whether your goal is to avoid probate, provide for a loved one with special needs, or protect property or business assets, we can help design and implement the right trust.

Common options include:

  • Revocable living trusts

  • Irrevocable trusts

  • Special needs trusts

  • Testamentary trusts

  • Spendthrift trusts

Powers of Attorney & Advance Directives

Planning for incapacity is a critical element of a complete estate plan. We prepare durable powers of attorney and healthcare directives to ensure your financial and medical decisions can be managed if you are unable to act on your own behalf.

We offer:

  • Durable power of attorney for financial matters

  • Medical power of attorney

  • Advance healthcare directives (living wills)

  • HIPAA authorization forms

Personalized Legal Planning for Peace of Mind

Estate planning is about more than documents—it’s about clarity, control, and peace of mind. At Kiehn | Sanchez, we take the time to understand your goals, explain your options, and craft a plan that fits your life, your family, and your future.
