Estate Planning Services

A comprehensive estate plan will allow you to make decisions about how you will pass your assets to your heirs, and it can also make sure you will have the financial resources to meet your own needs throughout the rest of your life. You can also specify the types of care you wish to receive if you become ill or incapacitated, which can help your loved ones avoid uncertainty in difficult situations.

When you work with us to create an estate plan, we will assist with:

• Wills - By creating a last will and testament, you can state your wishes for how you would like your assets to be distributed to your heirs, and you can also address issues such as guardianship of your minor children or your desires for burial arrangements.
• Trusts - These types of legal agreements allow you to place certain assets or property in the control of a trustee while providing instructions for how they should be distributed to your beneficiaries both during your lifetime and after your death. Beneficiaries may include your family members, a charitable organization, or even yourself.
• Powers of Attorney - To ensure that your wishes are followed correctly, you can name a person who will have the authority to make decisions for you if you are unable to do so. Powers of attorney can address your medical treatment and healthcare, or they may provide a person with the ability to manage your assets and financial affairs.
• Probate - Following a person's death, their will must be filed in probate court, and the person named as the executor of their estate must oversee the distribution of their assets to their heirs. We can provide representation during this process to ensure that all issues are addressed correctly while helping to resolve any disputes between a person's heirs.
• Business Succession Planning - Those who own and operate a family business may want to make plans to transfer ownership of their company to family members or others when they retire or in the event of their death. With our experience in business law, we can help business owners consider all eventualities and ensure that their wishes for their business will be carried out correctly.
