Creating Wills and Trusts
Wills and trusts allow you to have power over your estate when you pass away. You can specify which loved ones will receive your belongings and how your property will be transferred. Not having a legal plan in place allows the court to distribute your estate as they see fit.
In today's culture purchasing a will on-line has become popular. We caution against this as it does not necessarily follow legal procedure. Inaccurate wills can lead to will contests and costly litigation.
Attorney Ruth J. Fullwiler offers experience and guidance in drafting wills and trusts that legally reflect your wishes. We will cover all available options based on your unique needs.
Drafting Powers of Attorney
Drafting a power of attorney (POA), allows you name trusted people to make health and financial decisions on your behalf, if you are unable to speak for yourself. In additional to financial and health care power of attorney, you can establish a living will, detailing your wishes about life support.
Guiding Loved Ones through the Probate Process
As part of estate planning, we establish a plan for executing your will at your death. When you pass, we can represent your family through the probate process. During probate, the court validates your will allowing the executor to take care of your final financial obligations and disbursement of your estate.
Advocating for you in Estate Litigation
We can provide powerful estate litigation services during the probate process or during the administration of a trust. Common issues arising in litigation are beneficiary rights, duties of the trustee and probate disputes.
