Areas of Practice
Probate refers to the legal process of administering a deceased person's estate. The court reviews the will to determine if it is valid and provides a final ruling on the division and distribution of assets to heirs and beneficiaries based on the will. If a person dies intestate, or without a will, the court divides the estate according to state law. LEARN MORE
A guardianship typically involves the appointment of someone to manage the medical and physical care of a person with limited capacity such as a special needs child or a person with physical or intellectual disabilities. A conservatorship is a court order that appoints someone to oversee the financial affairs of a minor or a person who is incapacitated. One person can serve in both roles. LEARN MORE
A will and last testament form the foundation of an estate plan and are the key instrument used to ensure that the estate is settled in the manner desired by the deceased. While there is more to an estate plan than just a will, it is the presiding document the probate court uses to guide the process of settling an estate. LEARN MORE
Like a will, a trust provides for distribution of assets based on the deceased’s wishes. But unlike a will, a trust can protect assets from creditors and avoid taxes and the cost of probate. It can provide for control and future direction of assets long after the deceased person’s passing. Special needs trusts can permit a disable child or parent to receive income from the trust while still retaining public disability benefits like Medicaid. LEARN MORE
Everyone has an estate, it’s everything you own, your home, your accounts, your cars, and you probably have very specific ideas where and to whom you want your money to go after you pass. Because if you don’t, the state will be very happy to tell you exactly where your money will be going, and you and your heirs may not like it. Take charge of your estate. LEARN MORE
