Wills & Trusts - Probate

When a person passes away without a Will, there are statutes, known as intestate laws, to help administer an estate for someone who has not left a Will. These laws do their best to divide a person’s assets the way the legislature assumed that person would probably want. Unfortunately, they often get it wrong.


Some Trusts are Inter Vivos Trusts to be enacted while you are living and some are testamentary, which means they are only enacted after your death. Trusts can be an effective and protective measure to making sure your loved ones are cared for after you are gone. A trust will be administered by a trustee according to the rules laid out in the trust. Get peace of mind – contact us today.

Medical Power of Attorney

Power of Attorney documents are often completed alongside an estate plan and a will. They are similar in that they also give the power you possess to another to administer on your behalf when you need assistance or are unable to do so.
