Regardless of the size or complexity of your estate, we prepare the appropriate documents, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives. We also understand how hard it is to begin the legal process of probate after a loved one has died. We assist you with proving a will or trust is valid, transferring your loved one's property to the beneficiaries, settling any will or trust contests in court and resolving debts.
  • Elder law ― We provide elder law counsel and representation to people of retirement age on legal issues such as estate planning, Medicaid eligibility, powers of attorney, wills, trusts, special needs trusts, and planning for healthcare so your family assets are not depleted.
