Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  All adults from 18 years old and up should have estate planning documents in place to protect them and their estate.
• Wills
  Another frequent area of need for legal representation is in the drafting of wills and trusts and the planning of one’s financial affairs, inlcuding providing for a legal guardian for children in the event of death of a parent. In addition, we are able to assist the survivors of a deceased family member charged with the responsibility of probating a will or administering an estate.
