My practice covers the following areas of law:
- Estate Planning
- Probate and Trust Management
- Powers of Attorney and Advance Health Care Directives
- Adult Guardianships and Conservatorships
- Succession Planning
- Asset Protection
No one really wants to think about Estate Planning … any why would you? It involves making decisions about what happens to you and your estate at the end of your life. Most people want to put off such thinking as long as possible, but…
Can you afford to do that? Do you know your tax situation at death? Do you know how your spouse, partner, or children will be treated in court if you don’t leave written instructions which detail how your assets are to be distributed?
Most people don’t know the answers to these questions, and put off thinking about it as long as possible. Unfortunately this leads to many horror stories I’ve heard over the years about assets going to unintended persons (or even the government!), people kept on life support for years while their families become destitute, and worse… the ex-spouse getting your money!
I can help you navigate your questions about setting up your estate plan and craft just the right documents that match your family situation as well as your wishes. There is as much variety in estate plans as there are people on the planet, and yours will be tailor made to work best for you.
I also work with clients on many related subjects, such as Conservatorships, Guardianships, Probate, Powers of Attorney, Advance Health Care Directives, Wills, and Trusts. If you have questions or need help on any of these subjects, please call me at (541) 488-9465 for a free consultation.
