We help individuals prepare for their own needs and their family’s needs if they become unable to handle their affairs, or in the event of their death. Plans generally include powers of attorney and advance health care directives, a will, and often a living trust, along with a deed to transfer real estate to a living trust.

We provide guidance and representation to executors, trustees, and beneficiaries who need to carry out a plan or navigate a court dispute in probate court.
