• Wills
  A Will or a Last Will and Testament is a legal document that tells the probate court how you want your property distributed after you die, and who has the power and responsibility to wrap up your affairs. Through the probate process the court will give the personal representative (executor/rix) of your Will the authority to gather all of your property, pay any remaining creditors, bills, and distribute your remaining property as you specify in your Will.
• Trusts
  Attorney Herb Chavers has experience with Trust Administration. The process begins with an event that triggers a provision in your revocable living trust based estate plan, such as incapacity or death. The plan provides for the individuals you designated in your plan documents to step into action and execute according to your instructions.
• Power of Attorney
  An Advance Health Care Directive (AHCD) or power of attorney for health care (POAHC) allows your trusted friend or family member to make medical treatment decisions for you if you are unable to communicate your wishes to doctors. Without one, you must have a conservator of your person appointed by the court before decisions can be made on your behalf.
• Probate
  While I am an Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law Specialist* and an attorney accredited by the Department of Veterans Affairs**, I believe what really separates my firm and team members from other firms is our signature approach that goes well beyond the mere preparation of cookie-cutter documents. We are people-driven verses document-driven. While we do use various legal documents to ensure our clients have comprehensive plans in place designed to meet their needs and address their concerns, those extensive documents are part of our service, not the end all.
