Estate Planning Confidentiality: Should You Share Your Documents with Fiduciaries?

We encourage open communication about confidentiality preferences and offer tailored solutions, including written authorizations to release documents to trusted fiduciaries like your trustee, personal representative, or agent.

We also understand that some clients may wish to limit access due to privacy, family dynamics, or control concerns. Learn how you can protect your estate while honoring your values.
