Our Areas of Practice
Elder Law
As Elder Law attorneys, we handle those unique legal issues we confront as we age. While often intermingled with estate planning, Elder Law deals with much more. Our Elder Law services include Long Term Planning Care, Medicaid Planning, Nursing Home Planning and Veterans Benefits
Estate Planning
Estate planning is all about how to put legal protections in place to help ensure a future you want for yourself and your loved ones. This is accomplished through a number of legal tools. We help our clients develop unique and comprehensive estate plans that meet their needs. Everyone’s situation is different and that means that there is no one size fits all approach that can lead to an effective estate plan.
Estate Administration
& Probate
Most of us have heard stories or watched movies where, at the time of a loved one’s passing, the family gathers at the lawyer’s office and the will is “read” to them. While that makes for a good movie, today things are more complicated. The death of a loved one is a challenging time. Whether your loved one was our client or not, we assist in the probate process so that things proceed as seamlessly as possible.
Real Estate
Buying and selling a home or other property may be some of the largest transactions you will ever engage in. The financial impacts can be significant and last into the foreseeable future. To protect your best interests, our firm is here to help. We will review all closing documents as well as see to it that clear title is effectively transferred at closing. There are many problems that can come up in real estate transactions. We can help resolve these issues and see to it that all dealings go as smoothly as possible.
Small Business Formation
Business formation can be a complex process. Handled improperly, it can open up your business as well as you personally to facing unexpected liability originating from issues that could be proactively handled by your business attorney. There are annual requirements in our state that you may not know of as well as issues to troubleshoot early on in the set up process. We are here to provide trusted legal counsel so that your small business is set up for success.
Trusts & Trust Administration
Our firm can assist you in establishing a trust that meets and protects your goals and needs. Furthermore, our firm can assist in the trust administration process. We can assist and guide trustees in the management of trust property in accordance with the trust terms. The trust administration involves specific steps that must be taken and we can help facilitate this process. From helping to ensure beneficiaries are properly notified of the administration, to overseeing the proper transfer and distribution of trust funds and holdings, we are here to help.
