Wills, Trusts & Probate
One major component of establishing a strong estate plan is writing a will that provides the appropriate level of protection for your assets and for your personal wishes. Wills are legal documents that allow individuals to formally declare how they want their estates divided and distributed. In other words, they are documents that allow you to declare which assets will go to which family members or other loved ones.
When you have a will that is not drawn up properly, your loved ones can end up facing major legal issues during the probate process, or the process of validating the will in court. These kinds of issues can lead to drawn-out probate, which can become very expensive. We assist families through the estate administration process.
There are also many other estate planning tools from which our clients can benefit. By setting up revocable living trusts, grantors can direct their assets to their loved ones in a protected and controlled manner. Our firm assists with establishing these trusts, as well as with trust administration. Advance health care directives and powers of attorney are options that allow let their loved ones know how to take care of them once they become unable to make their own decisions.
