About Us
We at Hamilton and Associates are committed to understanding your estate planning goals, aspirations and desires as well as you and your family's unique qualities. Only after we have that understanding can we design an estate plan that will protect you and your loved ones and achieve your estate planning goals through all phases of your life: While you are alive and well; If you become disabled or incapacitated; and After you die.
We offer a complimentary first meeting to determine what your estate planning goals, aspirations and desires are.
This means more than just answering a few generic questions and having your documents prepared. Instead, you receive a customized estate plan that will do what you want it to, when you want it done.
Everyone has an estate plan. Either you created it or it was created for you by the State where you live at the time of your death. The question is do you want to control your life during any incapacity or after you die or do you want your State government to control you and your loved ones?
