Estate Planning

Estate planning is for anyone over the age of 18 and deals with a lot more than just assets after death. What happens if you become incapacitated and someone has to make decisions for you? What if you have small children and you want to make sure they go to the people you want? All of these things can be covered in an estate plan.

Don't let your loved ones stress over making decisions when you can't. I'll help you create a plan that spells out exactly what you want to happen.

Probate / Trust Administration

Did a love one pass and you aren't sure what the next steps are? Did they have a trust, will, or nothing? I can help you navigate the next steps.

Probate and trust administration can be a complex and time-consuming process, especially for those who are unfamiliar with legal procedures. I can guide you through the probate process, ensuring that your loved one's assets are distributed according to their wishes and in compliance with applicable laws.

Maybe you already have existing documents and just need a refresher. Maybe you don't need a whole trust package, but just an updated Certificate of Trust.

Need a specific legal document? I can draft a variety of documents to meet your individual needs. Whether you require a ladybird deed, a power of attorney, a living will, or a simple contract, we can provide you with the necessary legal documentation. My goal is to save you time and money by offering tailored legal services without the need for a full-service law firm.

Guardianship / Conservatorship

Other Matters

Guardianships and conservatorships are legal arrangements that appoint a trusted individual to manage the personal or financial affairs of another person who is unable to do so themselves.

I can assist you in obtaining a guardianship or conservatorship for a minor child, a disabled adult, or an elderly individual who is incapable of making sound decisions. I'll work closely with you and/or the appointed guardian or conservator to ensure that the best interests of the protected person are always considered.

Are you anticipating the need for long term care? Want to give some property to a nephew? Maybe you're a disabled vet with benefits to consider?

I can help navigate how these things all relate and intertwine. I'll be able to provide services that won't interfere with a potential medicaid claim in the future, or won't affect veterans benefits you are currently receiving.

In addition to the services listed above, I can also assist with a variety of other legal matters. If you have a legal issue that doesn't fall squarely into one of these categories, please don't hesitate to contact me. I will evaluate your case and determine if I can provide the legal representation you need.
