- Real Estate TransactionsReal estate transactions are governed by a wide body of federal statutes and a combination of state statutes and common law. The agreement to sell between a buyer and seller of real estate is governed by the general principles of contract law. See Contracts.
- Estate PlanningEstate planning allows a person to make decisions that include medical treatment care options and the distribution of property when he or she passes away. Planning ahead provides time to carefully consider and review estate decisions and to create tailored plans that preempt any disputes.
- WillsMy husband had died, and I was very depressed and unable to think clearly. You helped me get through this dark time by taking care of the probate and guiding me through it. I also appreciated not being charged an expensive fee for your services. You helped me sell some property, update my Will and Trust documents and decide on a gifting plan when I was ready to move forward. Thanks again for all your guidance and help.
- Trusts
- Power of AttorneyA will can help to protect your family and property and allows you to name a trusted person to administer your will and carry out the terms of your will. In Montana, if you die without a will, your property will be distributed according to state "intestacy" laws. There are some situations where consulting an attorney are important. For example, if you think that your will might be contested or if you want to disinherit an heir or need a trust regarding minor children, it would be wise to speak with an attorney. Living Wills, Advance Health Care Directives, Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, Statutory Power of Attorney and Trusts, are other estate documents that can be important to discuss with an attorney in preparing for your future needs.
