ESTATE PLANNINGThe estate may be subject to Federal Estate Taxation if the total of assets exceeds $200,000. If the assets exceed $2,000,000 and you desire estate planning to avoid or reduce your estate tax or require a Trust to protect a spouse, please advise Mr. Vercammen. A Standard Will is not designed to address estate tax issues. We do not do Tax Planning or Medicaid Planning.
