Helping You Create a Comprehensive Estate Plan

At our law firm, we can help you address all aspects of estate planning and make sure all of your documents are in order. Our services include:

• Creating wills and trusts - By drafting a last will and testament, you can detail how your assets will be distributed to your heirs and how other issues will be handled after you die. In addition to assisting with your will, we can help establish trusts, which can help protect assets and ensure that they can provide benefits for both you and your loved ones. We can provide guidance regarding multiple different types of trusts, including special needs trusts that may be used to address the needs of individuals who have disabilities or other special needs without affecting their ability to qualify for government benefits.
• Powers of attorney - If you are concerned that you may become incapacitated and unable to make decisions for yourself, powers of attorney will allow you to appoint someone to manage your financial or medical affairs. We can help ensure that all necessary documents are in place regarding powers of attorney for both finances and healthcare.
• Living wills - This legal document allows you to state your wishes for end-of-life medical care. This way, your loved ones and doctors will know how to proceed in the event of a terminal illness or injury in which you are unable to communicate your desires.
• Guardianship - If you need help establishing legal guardianship for a minor child, an adult with a disability, or an elderly loved one, we can help you put the proper agreements in place that will provide both the guardian and ward with the necessary legal protections.
• Probate and estate administration - After a loved one passes, we can help the executor of their estate file their will in probate court, and we can assist trustees with the administration of trusts. We also provide representation for different parties in probate litigation, including helping to resolve disputes related to will contests or other disputed estate planning documents, as well as representing beneficiaries who want to make sure their loved one's wishes will be followed correctly.
