Our lawyers and paralegals have extensive experience helping individuals and families plan for the future and navigate the complexities of probate applications and estate administration matters. We can assist you with:
- Estate Planning: This vital process allows you to plan and make decisions regarding the management and distribution of your assets and healthcare. Our lawyers can assist you with:
- Wills: a document in which you choose who will inherit your assets (your beneficiaries) when you die. It also appoints a Personal Representative (formerly known as an Executor), who becomes your legal representative after your death, and is responsible for managing your estate.
- Enduring Power of Attorney: a document in which you choose a person or persons to look after your legal and financial affairs both before and after you become incapable of doing so. If the EPA is activated, your Attorney then has the legal authority to do such things as sell property, file tax returns, manage investments, and pay your expenses on your behalf.
- Personal Directive: a document in which you choose a person or persons who will make your health and personal care decisions if you become mentally incompetent during your lifetime because of an accident or illness. The person you have named is able to make decisions about your medical treatment, where you live, and your participation in various activities.
- Estate Administration and Probate: The probate process can be complex and time consuming, requiring meticulous attention to detail. Our lawyers and paralegals have extensive experience, and we can guide you through the process with compassion and efficiency.
Though this subject can be sensitive and emotionally challenging, our lawyers and paralegals are committed to providing compassionate and professional advice in every situation. Should you require legal assistance or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We look forward to working with you.
