Estate Planning
Estate Planning Lawyer in Muscatine,IA
TAX ALERT!
The estate and gift exemption level for U.S. Estate and Gift Taxes is set for 2013 at $5.250 million. This means that estates with more than $5.25 million will be taxed by the U.S. Government at a rate of 40%. Estate planning can minimize the tax ramifications of this tax and leave more money for their heirs.

No matter what the size of your estate, there are three legal documents everyone should have:
- You need a will
to make sure your assets are distributed the way you want, not how a probate court decides
- You need a durable power of attorney
for healthcare to name someone to make medical decisions on your behalf
- And you need a durable power of attorney for finances, which designates someone to take care of money matters
