Estates
No one likes to lose control of their affairs or leave a mess behind for others to pick up, and some advance planning can avoid both scenarios. Many of the tools available are simple and very cost-effective. An attorney like Chris can help you understand the options, consider second-level choices that are often overlooked (especially with do-it-yourself products) and set up a plan that will take care of your affairs if you become incapacitated and that will help your loved ones transition after you've gone. Chris can help with:
- Wills, including trusts and guardianships for children
- Revocable trusts (sometimes called living or inter vivos trusts)
- Irrevocable trusts
- Property transfers or ownership changes to coordinate with your estate plan
- Probate of estates, and pre-death options for avoiding probate
- Protection of your rights as an heir or surviving spouse
