Financial Advisors & Estate Planners
We offer a range of services to assist those who need help managing certain aspects of their life to maintain independence with dignity. LSS financial and estate services include Guardianship and Conservatorship, Personal Representative of the Estate, Power of Attorney and Pooled Trust. We also recognize those who make a planned estate gift to LSS with membership in the Norelius Society.
Estate Planning
Power of Attorney is a written, legal document appointing someone you trust to manage your practical, financial tasks when you are unable to do them yourself. This can include such things as paying bills, making bank deposits, managing investments and more.
Personal Representative of the Estate is the person or organization you choose to settle your estate and carry out the requests outlined in your will.

Planned Giving
You can make a planned gift by designating LSS as a beneficiary of your last will and testament, charitable trust, life insurance policy or retirement plan.
