A will is only one of many tools used in effective estate planning. Sometimes, more than a will is needed to ensure that your estate demises to your intended beneficiaries. A will may not take into account issues related to taxation and probate of your estate. Effective estate planning minimizes the likelihood that your estate becomes the subject of expensive litigation or family infighting after you are gone.

Our wills and estates lawyers can also advise you about:

 
  • Living wills
  • Power of attorney
  • Representation agreements (designating a person to make your health care decisions if you are unable)
  • Acting as an executor
  • Family trusts
  • Life estates
  • Appointing representatives for mentally infirm persons
