Estate Planning
An estate plan brings peace of mind to your family, and reduces conflict by providing clear instructions of your wishes and appointing people to manage your affairs. Our estate lawyers assist our clients with developing customized estate plans, which may include a will, a personal directive and an enduring power of attorney.
A Will is a document that outlines how you wish your property to be distributed when you pass away. It can also be used to appoint guardians for minor or dependent children, set up trusts, and deal with corporate assets.
A Personal Directive is a document that appoints a person to make personal decisions for you, including medical decisions and living arrangements, in the event that you become mentally incapable of making decisions for yourself.
An Enduring Power of Attorney is a document that appoints a person to manage your property, including your finances, for you in the event that you become mentally incapable of managing your own affairs.
Estate Administration
After the death of a loved one, there are many steps that need to be taken to wrap up their estate.
Regardless of whether or not there is a Will, our estate lawyers assist the personal representative in applying for a court grant, if needed, to allow the personal representative to deal with certain property of the estate. We also assist the personal representative with administering the estate and distributing the gifts to beneficiaries.
Our goal is to provide peace of mind to personal representatives by assisting them with the required steps and reducing exposure to personal liability.
