It’s not something anyone wants to think about, but we can make wills, trusts and estate planning simple and easy for you and your family. Our goal is to make the process as seamless for everyone as possible, and to ensure your wishes are carried out.
We will help you leave your loved ones with a plan, not a mess. It could cost your family tens of thousands of dollars to get access to your assets if you do not plan ahead. Or, the state may decide where your assets go, not you. Let us help.
Wills
Don’t wait any longer. Come on in, meet with us, and let us listen your wishes and goals. We will draft your customized documents and schedule a time for you to come in and sign them. In only a short couple of weeks you will have your plan complete, and your family won’t need to worry (or fight) about where you wanted your assets to go after you’ve passed.
Trusts
Not everyone needs a trust. If you don’t need one based on your situation, we won’t try to “sell” you one like many other estate planning firms. But if your estate is more complex or you have a unique situation, we will set up a trust to ensure your wishes are carried out, and your goals achieved. With the right kind of trust, you can be sure that your assets go exactly where you want, and when you want. Besides some modest laws, the only limit on a trust is your imagination.
Other Estate Planning Tools
Unfortunately, sometimes the death of a loved one may not be the biggest challenge a family faces. Sometimes, a loved one can become ill, get injured, or become otherwise incapacitated, and may need temporary or permanent care. We are skilled at preparing Medical Powers of Attorney to help deal with potential medical issues, and General (often called Durable) Powers of Attorney to help deal with financial issues when a loved one becomes incapacitated, but does not pass away. Let us put your mind at ease by preparing for these types of problems before they arise.
Probate
We understand that losing a loved one is not easy. Our primary goal in handling your probate matter is to make the process as easy on you as possible during this difficult time, so you can focus on grieving without worrying about legal matters. We offer a wide range of probate services, including:
- Submission of Will to Probate & Appointment of an Executor
- Determination of Heirship proceedings
- Estate Administration (when a loved one dies without a will)
- Inventory and Appraisal
- Asset Movement and Distribution
- Affidavit of Heirship
