Estate Planning for Physicians in Loudoun County

Our firm has been helping physicians for decades. We understand the medical practice and all the benefits, risks, and fulfillment it can bring.

From selling your practice to shielding assets, we help our physician clients protect the legacy they’ve built while practicing medicine.

What does Estate Planning for Doctors entail?

Estate planning is simply setting up the framework to ensure your wishes are upheld if you were to pass away or become incapacitated.

There are elements to consider like avoiding the probate process, maintaining privacy, and shielding the estate from estate taxes.

Physicians often also require counsel for business planning. We help look at the practice’s operations and the desired outcome for ownership. From there, we can help craft an exit strategy that maximizes your time, money, and energy invested into the practice.

Estate planning mistakes for Physicians to avoid

Practicing medicine, it can be so easy to get enveloped in the day-to-day and completely forget about what happens next.

Some of the top situations to avoid include:

Not having a plan

Even a simplified will is better than nothing at all. We help physicians set up legally sound wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and more all to preserve and protect your loved ones -- now and tomorrow.

Naming a single beneficiary

With a cherished loved one, it may seem like a good idea to leave them the entirety of the estate. But if they pass away, you remarry, or other life changes occur, you may wish you had revisited naming beneficiaries for specific assets sooner.

Not updating your plan

Unlike the "set it and forget it" tagline from years past, an estate plan should not be made and then never looked at again. Updating your estate plan helps reflect your current state of affairs more accurately.

Not thinking about estate distribution sooner

No one likes to think about death or suddenly becoming incapacitated, but it happens every day. Implementing certain actions early helps compound the returns they provide.
