Estate Management Services

Falk Cornell & Associates is pleased to announce a new level of service effective January 1, 2007.

Over the years, the firm has received numerous requests to provide a more comprehensive wealth management and estate maintenance service. In the past, the firm was reluctant to offer services beyond the basic estate plan because the firm’s goal was to provide affordable estate planning services to clients. Though the basic estate planning services are sufficient for many clients, some clients need a more comprehensive service. Beginning January 1, 2007, the firm will offer a new more thorough and in-depth service called “Estate Management Services.” Estate Management Services is an annual maintenance program providing a variety of benefits for clients with more advanced estate planning issues. With time, everyone experiences significant life changes—the birth of children or grandchildren, marriages and remarriages, the passing away of loved ones, and personal financial changes. And of course, changes in the laws governing our estate plan.

Falk, Cornell & Associates has always advocated that you review your estate plan at least every three years. For some clients this is sufficient. But some clients are experiencing changes in life more frequently than once every three years. Some have already lost a spouse and are now administering one or more trusts. For those people the Estate Management Services Program provides a number of benefits.

The Estate Management Services Program is designed to keep your estate plan current with annual appointments to review your estate plan, and monthly email alerts and seminars to help you assist you in better understanding, managing and administering your estate. If after an appointment you need to make simple changes to your estate plan, then codicils to your will and amendments to your living trust will be complimentary. Furthermore, if you have young adults in your immediate family, the firm will prepare Health Care Directives and HIPAA declarations free of charge. Also included is your annual membership to Docubank and discounts on other legal services, such as LLC’s, children’s trusts and insurance trusts.

Finally, please rest assured that every client’s estate plan provides full and complete coverage for their basic estate planning needs and the firm will continue to provide the same basic services as in the past. If you wish to retain the firm for a specific service, then you may do so at the hourly rate. However, if you require additional services or anticipate that your estate requires closer management, then please consider participating in our Estate Management Services Program.
