YOUNG ADULT, FAMILY, RETIREMENT, PROBATE ADMINISTRATION, AND TRUST ADMINISTRATION

Estate Planning
Estate planning is about protecting your property, fulfilling your wishes, and planning for taxes. But there’s more to it than that. At the core of estate planning is your family, future, and goals.

No matter what stage of life, or where you are in your estate planning process, our approachable attorneys will take the time to get to know you before we ever put pen to paper. Your final estate plan will genuinely reflect your wishes, best interests, and family plans.

Probate & Trust Administration
Probate is when a will is processed and ‘proved’ through probate court. Once the will is proven valid, the courts will ensure that all debts and taxes are settled, property is distributed properly, and that your loved one’s wishes are granted. Our helpful attorneys can file everything for you, draft necessary documents, manage communications with the court, and more. Our goal is to make the process as easy as possible for you.

Trust administration typically occurs without the probate courts oversight. A named trustee will handle the distribution of property and assets according to the written trust. Our attorneys work with trustees and beneficiaries to navigate complex trust administration rules, and to help your loved ones stay one step ahead of any new laws, potential problems, or challenges.

Experienced attorneys protecting rights, and building future, one client at a time.
