Wills, Trusts & Estate Planning

Have you made plans for the emotional and financial well being of your spouse and children in the event of your death? Who would manage your affairs in the event of your disability or mental incapacity? Do you have specific goals concerning the distribution of your assets upon death?

Regardless of net worth or wealth, each individual needs a valid:

• Last Will and Testament,
• Durable Power of Attorney,
• Health Care Power of Attorney
• Declaration of Desire for a Natural Death ("Living Will").

Failure to make adequate preparation can have devastating results on loved ones and those who may depend on others for support.

Procrastination in attending to these matters usually results from the misconception that the process is long, complicated, and intimidating. Fortunately for most clients, putting the proper plan in place is 100% painless. After thorough consultation with an experienced attorney, our Firm will provide you with an individualized plan to help you meet your goals and provide you with the peace of mind that comes with attending to these important matters.

Probate and Estate Administration

When picking up the pieces after the death of a spouse or family member, one of the key elements is closure. Where financial closure is concerned, the process can be time consuming and at times seem completely overwhelming. Failure to follow the law in the administration and settlement of a deceased person’s estate could result in personal liability for the executor or administrator or leave unresolved issues that may affect property or family members years later. Our Firm possesses a wealth of experience in assisting clients with a range of estate administration issues ranging from basic questions to very complicated matters. Our Firm provides estate administration services based upon the level of involvement each client needs.
