Estate planning for Meridian families and owners

Will-based vs trust-centered plans, explained

Some families choose a will-based approach; others prefer a living trust to reduce court involvement and keep details private. We align deeds and accounts with your documents so your estate planning actually functions—whether you’re near The Village at Meridian, Paramount, Tuscany, or Ten Mile.

Idaho rules and practical steps

Probate overview, small-estate options, and directives

We outline how Idaho probate works and when simplified procedures may apply, then help you set a power of attorney and advance directive so trusted agents can act during emergencies. Clear instructions now prevent delays later.

  • What assets should I place in my living trust?

    Typically real estate and non-retirement accounts; we’ll review exceptions and provide a step-by-step list.

  • Do both spouses need separate POAs?

    Review every few years or after life changes—new property, new accounts, or new beneficiaries.
