What Is Estate Planning?
Simply put, estate planning is figuring out what happens to your assets at the time of your death, and planning for how we get from here to there. Preserving assets, protecting your interests, and setting up the proper legal documents are all parts of this process.
Estate planning not only includes planning for asset distribution upon your demise, but also encompasses advance directives, including advance healthcare directives, living wills, a health care proxy, a medical power of attorney, a financial power of attorney, and other documents to make your wishes and desires known. Known in advanced decisions or advanced directives, and directives that are personal to you are known and carried out.

I’m Attorney Jill Santiago. I’ve lived in the Greater Providence Metro area for 25 years and practice law in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
My planning approach is like an architect designing a custom home for my clients. In our meeting, we will create a “blueprint” together for your custom estate plan that has the features and benefits you request and need. Then, once we finish the design of your estate plan, I will create an estate plan like a contractor, building it step by step.
