When you hire me to help you create an effective estate plan, we will start by asking you a lot of questions, so we can learn as much as possible about your financial situation and your goals. Next, we will carefully explain the different strategies for meeting your objectives, including the use of wills and trusts, the re-titling of assets to avoid probate, and lifetime gifting.
Once you have selected the approach that best meets your needs, we will prepare all necessary documents to implement your estate plan, including:
We also handle trust administration, as well as the implementation of guardianships.
If you have been designated as executor, administrator or personal representative of an estate, we will help you navigate the probate process and successfully settle the estate.

We will help you prepare an inventory of the assets of the estate, obtain property valuations when necessary, ensure payment of the last debts and taxes of the estate, and oversee the orderly distribution of the property of the estate.
We also handle probate disputes, including will contests or claims against an estate.
