Wills, Trusts, & Powers of Attorneys

Your last will & testament is a legal document that outlines your end-of-life wishes. It allows you to specify how you want property and other assets distributed to heirs or beneficiaries, nominate a guardian for your minor children (if the other parent is deceased or unable to serve), and provide instructions for burial, cremation, and funeral expenses. We assist clients with creating and updating these types of planning documents to ensure their wishes are clearly expressed and legally protected. Though it can often feel a little disconcerting to discuss end-of-life care and decision-making, we will help you navigate these tender topics with care and compassion.

When you start the process of creating a will, we’ll first take time to understand your wishes, family situation, and specific needs. After outlining your assets and beneficiaries, we discuss important topics including guardianship for minor children, handling of specific bequests, desired medical care should you not be able to make those decisions for yourself, and who you trust serve as the administrator of your affairs. We are uniquely suited to help you navigate issues related to divorce, a second marriage, and/or caring for adult children. During each stage, our team supports you as you make informed decisions and helps prepare your final, signed document according to state guidelines.

Whether you are updating existing documents or putting these protections in place for the first time, we help you take care of the essentials with clarity and care.
