A guardian may be any family member of close friend. If you are a parent with a special needs child who is reaching the age of majority, you may qualify to be your child’s guardian. A guardian may also be a third-party professional. A person who wishes to be appointed as a guardian must first fill out a guardianship application and list his or her qualifications to be a guardian.

Irrevocable Trusts generally cannot be modified or terminated once they have been established without intervention by the Court. As the Grantor, when you transfer your assets into the Irrevocable Trust, you give up your rights of ownership to the assets. The Trust becomes a written agreement between you and the Trustee—the person you name to manage the assets in the Trust. Irrevocable Trusts are generally used for Estate Tax Reduction, Asset Protection from Creditors, and Medicaid Planning, via Special Needs Trusts.

A Durable Power of Attorney is a document in which you appoint an agent who is given the legal authority to manage your financial affairs during your life. An agent is granted a wide scope of authority to make decisions regarding a variety of financial decisions and even decisions regarding your property. A durable power of attorney is “durable” because it survives incapacity.

A Living Will is a document that spells out your preferences for medical treatment, specifically in an end of life scenario. Certain measures can be implemented to ensure that your wishes are followed by the treating physician.

Estate planning arranges for the transfer of an individual's property after death and may involve a will and/or trust, or the application of state intestacy laws.

Estate planning allows an individual to decide exactly who will benefit from their estate, and to what extent. It also ensures that the estate will not be destroyed by taxes imposed on the transfer of assets at death.

An estate consists of all property owned at death before it is distributed by will, trust, or intestacy laws. An estate may contain both real property (real estate, including houses and investment properties) and personal property (all other property, including bank accounts, securities, jewelry and automobiles).

Yes, we handle those kinds of cases. Please call for a consultation.

A will is a legal document that lays out how you want your assets to be handled and distributed after you die. A trust is another method of transferring an estate. In a trust you give another party (“the trustee”) the authority to manage your assets for the benefit of your third-party beneficiaries.
