When a family member dies, it's time for healing- not time to be bogged down with the legal process.
Create a Living Will
A living will is a directive of your wishes for your family and medical personnel. It addresses what type of health care you would like to receive in the event you are incapacitated in an end-of-life medical condition. These wills are designed to be updated periodically as your needs and wishes change.
File Your Last Will and Testament
Wills are directives that determine how your assets and obligations will be divided up upon your death. Most states require several legal signatures to be included on the document — yours and 2 witnesses. The courts may dismiss or ignore an improperly constructed will.
We will make sure your will if created, will be signed by the necessary persons, and on file with the court.
Plan Your Estate and Trusts
Your estate includes all the money, assets, and debts that belong to you at the time of your death, and it allows you to transfer all those things to your heirs and beneficiaries.
To plan your estate, we will use wills, trusts, powers of appointment, powers of attorney, and living wills to provide your loved ones with the best benefits (after taxes are addressed).
