Family Law

Premarital Agreement
This is an agreement, usually made by people entering a second marriage, in which each party surrenders all rights he or she might have against the estate of the other by virtue of the fact that they are married. The agreement must be signed well before the marriage. These agreements are used where the people want to keep assets separate, and perhaps to relieve their childrens anxiety about the second marriage.
Guardianship
We recommend that persons of retirement age or those facing serious medical conditions have a stand-by Power of Attorney naming a trusted family member or friend to act for them in the event of incapacity caused by accident or illness. Powers of Attorney are not expensive and could abe worth their weight in gold if ever needed. This is so because the only alternative may be guardianship proceedings, which are very expensive, court supervised proceedings.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
If the gross value of all assets a person or married couple owns, including joint property, is near or exceeds the current exemption amount, then estate planning is required to minimize federal and state estate taxes. In these estates a Will or Living Trust should not be signed without tax planning advice.
Wills
A will directs the distribution of property owned in your name alone, at the time of your detah. It does not control assets owned with rights of survivorship to another, trust property or assets with a designated beneficiary. A will can nominate a guardian for minor children. Every adult should have an up-to-date will made in the state of their residence.
Trusts
Living Trust prices include preparation of a Simple Pour- Over Will, but do not include the cost of transferring assets.
Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is a document by which you give another person the power or authority to act on your behalf. The person you give the power to is called yoru "attorney in fact". Your "attorney in fact" does not have to be an attorney at law, but can be any adult person.
