Probate and Estates

It is easy to imagine that estate planning is only for clients with vast assets or complicated family trees. The truth is that estate planning should be considered by just about everyone. Too often, a loved one passes with no will, resulting in a distribution of their estate in a manner that they never intended.

As family members get older, they may lose their capacity to execute their own documents. Having a power of attorney in place before such a loss of capacity can be very helpful to parties who will need to handle their everyday affairs.

Perhaps there is a specific wish for healthcare matters that needs to be addressed. A healthcare power of attorney can give someone the ability to make health care decisions on your behalf if you are unable.

A sampling of the legal matters the firm handles in this regard include but are not limited to:

  • Simple wills
  • General Powers of Attorney
  • Specific Powers of Attorney
  • Health Care Powers of Attorney
  • Living Wills
  • Probate of estates
