In addition, Dennis R. Meakim provides estate planning for individuals, both young and older.  Dennis has learned that the peace of mind that comes along with the signing of a Last Will and Testament, Power of Attorney document, and/or a Living Will is of great value to his clients.  Estate Planning is not just for older people.  It is just as important for younger people, especially new parents and middle-aged persons/empty nesters to set down their wishes and complete these documents in the event a tragedy occurs.
