Estate Planning

Estate Planning

A comprehensive estate plan can help your loved ones avoid probate, take care of you in case of capacity, and protect your legacy.

Probate Lawyers

Probate Lawyers

Probate is a legal process where the court oversees the gathering of your assets, payments of your debts, and distribution of your estate to your heirs.

Trust Administration

Trust Administration

When a Trustor passes away, trust administration is the process where the Successor Trustee completes all legal formalities, gathers all trust assets, pays all debts, and fulfills the Trustor’s wishes for the beneficiaries.

Our Guiding Philosophy

You may think that you don’t own an “estate” and, therefore, don’t need an estate plan. But everyone needs some form of estate planning. Estate planning is about leaving what you have to whomever you want. If you don’t have an estate plan, the state has one for you, but chances are you won’t like it. An estate plan can help you avoid probate, plan for estate tax complications and make the transfer of your assets a smooth process for your loved ones at a difficult time.

Compassionate Assistance During The Probate Process

It can be overwhelming to grapple with the loss of a loved one while also being responsible for administering their estate. We can step in to assist you, making sure that all the legal requirements are met while completing the process as quickly and smoothly as possible.
