Areas of Practice
Trusts & Wills
A trust creates an entity to hold your family’s assets and allows those assets to pass outside of probate. The court supervised probate process has fees and can take quite a bit of time before the assets are distributed. You can avoid the probate process by creating a trust and a will. This allows you to designate who will inherit your assets. It creates the smoothest process for your loved ones and beneficiaries. To create a trust, make changes to your current plan, or have a review of your current plan, please get in touch with me.
Probate
Probate is the legal process of transferring a decedent’s assets to his/her beneficiaries per the State’s pre-determined plan. It does not take into account the need of any of your beneficiaries. It is usually best to enlist legal assistance in this matter. I am happy to walk you through the process in a free consultation.
Life Planning
If you, your partner, or both were to become incapacitated, you would want certain decisions legally memorialized. Having a power of attorney, advanced medical directives, and appointing a legal guardian over any minor children will give you the peace of mind you and your family deserve. I would love to help you with this.
