What areas of law do you specialize in?

Our practice focuses on elder law, estate planning, and probate. This includes creating wills and trusts, Medicaid asset protection, powers of attorney, guardianships, and special needs planning. We also assist families with probate and trust administration after a loved one passes.

Why is estate planning important?

Estate planning ensures your wishes are carried out, your assets are protected, and your loved ones avoid unnecessary stress and legal complications. A well-prepared plan can help you avoid probate, minimize taxes, and provide clear instructions for healthcare and financial decisions.

What is the difference between a will and a trust?

A will outlines how your assets should be distributed after your death, but it typically requires probate. A trust, on the other hand, can help avoid probate, maintain privacy, and allow for more flexible management of your assets during your lifetime and after.

Do I need a lawyer for probate?

While it’s possible to navigate probate on your own, the process can be complex and time-consuming. Working with an experienced attorney helps ensure everything is handled correctly, deadlines are met, and disputes are resolved efficiently.

What is a power of attorney and why do I need one?

A power of attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to make financial or healthcare decisions if you become unable to do so. Without it, your family may need to go through court proceedings to manage your affairs.
