Many people leave a last will and testament after they die. This document allows someone to plan the distribution of personal, digital, fiduciary, and real property. It decides what assets to pass on and to whom, rather than allowing assets to automatically go to the next of kin.

It is important to draft a document that is strategic, legally sound, and in the interest of the testator (the person making the will). This is best achieved through seeking legal advice in the drafting process. However, in any instance, there is always the possibility of contests and disputes from loved ones who feel unsatisfied with the decisions.

Administering a trust is a serious responsibility. Where appropriate and necessary, a trustee  (the individual or entity in charge of administering a trust) may and should seek legal counsel in administering a trust. Whether you are the trustee, someone wishing to challenge the validity of a will, or a beneficiary, we are available and willing to help you take legal action or better understand the complex legal aspects.
