15Estate Planning

We do Wills and Trusts.

Drawing up a Will is just one step in the process of getting your affairs in order. We will help you determine what documents you need and why. See us for beneficiary designations, beneficiary deeds, wills, trusts, powers of attorney and advanced directives.

Let’s get this done!

51Probate

We handle Probate.

We efficiently and cost effectively help beneficiaries, executors, personal representatives, and trustees with estate administration including probate.

Let us help you!

1Elder Law

We help our Elders.

We help you select agents and help them do their job. We provide powers of attorney, guidance on long-term care options, and advanced directives. Left with no alternative, we represent petitioners, respondents and others in guardianship and conservatorship cases. Whether you are the person needing assistance, or the person providing it.

We have solutions!

8Litigation

We will represent you in Court.

Disputes cannot always be resolved. Let us help you decide if going to Court is the right course of action. We know how to do this – and it’s not like TV. Hire us to help with matters of inheritance, omitted heirs, will contests, fiduciary or trustee wrongdoing, contested guardianship and conservatorships.

We want to be your advocate!
