Butler County Estate Planning Attorney

Wealth management and estate planning are two essential components of financial planning that go hand in hand. Whereas wealth management involves managing assets, investments, and business interests to achieve long-term financial goals, estate planning focuses on ensuring affairs are in order and assets are distributed according to a person’s wishes after they pass away. By combining these two legal areas, Dever Law Firm hopes to give clients the best opportunity to plan for their financial futures and protect their legacies.
