Estate planning is a complex and emotional area that involves the drafting of living wills, trusts, powers of attorney and other documents that help with a smooth transition of assets and management of property after a death occurs. 

When estates aren’t managed and someone dies without a will, their possessions are distributed to their next of kin in an unorganized and confusing manner. Many other factors come into play and cause further strain for families going through such a difficult time.

Instead, the testator (the person making the will) can choose how to delegate wealth and ensure everything plays out much more smoothly. A well-designed estate plan can allow you to live without the worries of probate, while ensuring your loved ones are protected from government regulation, estate taxes, and potential creditors. 

It is important to draft a document that is strategic, legally sound, and in the best interest of the testator. When you seek legal advice, we take into consideration factors that help prevent conflict during the distribution process.
