Estate Planning

Planning for the future is crucial to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Our estate planning services include:

• Wills: We assist clients in drafting clear and legally binding wills that outline how their assets should be distributed after their passing.
• Trusts: Our attorneys help set up various types of trusts, such as revocable, irrevocable, and special needs trusts, to protect assets and provide for beneficiaries.
• Power of Attorney: We prepare documents that appoint someone you trust to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated.
• Living Wills and Health Care Directives: These documents specify your wishes regarding medical treatment and end-of-life care, ensuring your preferences are respected.

Probate Administration

Navigating the probate process can be daunting without professional guidance. We offer support in:

• Probate Filing: We assist executors and administrators in filing the necessary documents to initiate probate proceedings.
• Asset Inventory: Our team helps compile a comprehensive inventory of the deceased’s assets, including real estate, bank accounts, investments, and personal property.

• Distribution of Assets: We ensure that assets are distributed according to the will or state law if there is no will, facilitating a smooth and efficient process.

Contested Wills

Disputes over the validity of a will can create significant tension among family members. Our services include:

• Will Contest Litigation: We represent clients who believe a will is invalid due to undue influence, lack of capacity, fraud, or other reasons.
• Defense of Wills: We defend the validity of wills that are being contested, ensuring that the testator’s wishes are honored.

• Trust Disputes: Our team resolves conflicts related to the administration or terms of trusts, ensuring trustees fulfill their fiduciary duties.
