Wills and Trusts
I work closely with individuals and families who want to establish plans for the orderly distribution of assets and/or the care of minor children in the event of an untimely death. When helping you prepare an effective estate plan, I will gather as much information as we can regarding your financial situation, as well as your estate planning objectives. I will explain the different strategies available to help you meet your goals, including the use of wills and trusts, the re-titling of assets, and lifetime gifts.
Once you have determined which approach will best fit your situation, I will prepare and execute the documents necessary to put your estate plan in place, including:
- Simple wills
- Trusts, including revocable and irrevocable trusts, living and testamentary trusts, and pet trusts
- Powers of attorney, including durable powers of attorney and limited powers of attorney
- Living wills and advance medical directives
- Guardianships
- Business succession planning documents
Probate Administration
I work with executors, administrators and personal representatives to help them satisfy the requirements of the probate process and successfully settle the estate of a loved one. I will prepare all the documents required by the probate court and act as your advocate in all proceedings with the court.
I can assist you with:
- The preparation and filing of an inventory of assets
- Obtaining a valuation of property, if necessary
- The satisfaction of all final debts and taxes of the estate
- The orderly distribution of assets in accordance with the terms of the will
I also handle most types of probate litigation, including will contests and allegations of breach of fiduciary duty.
