Estate Planning

No one likes to think about the inevitable, but it’s important to plan for the future of your estate after you’re no longer around. Estate planning is an important process of creating a plan for how a person’s assets will be distributed at the end of his or her life. Although estate planning is largely focused on financial elements, these plans affect every aspect of a person’s life, and, as such, should be meticulously considered to ensure the best decisions are made.

4 years agoThis is my second year filing my taxes with DeFreitas & Minsky. I was referred by a friend. Honestly, It’s a blessing sent. Everyone there is professional and knowledgeable about tax codes. They even keep me abreast via email whenever there’s a new tax law and what it entails. I feel safe and sound when doing business with them.
