You can also rely on us to be right there beside you each step of the way for assistance with any of the following matters:

Estate Planning

Comprehensive estate plans protect your and your assets from any future contingencies. A good estate plan will specify what you want to happen to any of your assets, which can include any of the following:

Real estate, your home, and any land you may own
Liquid cash and funds you have in your checking and savings accounts
Investment and retirement funds
Vehicles and other costly items
Arts and collectibles
Family heirlooms

Furthermore, those who have children under the age of 18 can use a will to establish guardianship for their kids should the parent die before the children reach the age of majority.

As part of your comprehensive estate plan, you may also create powers of attorney, health care directives, and other instruments that will specify your wishes and/or establish a person to make decisions on your behalf when you can no longer think or speak for yourself. These can include any of the following:

Whether you want to be resuscitated or receive life-support treatments to save or extend your life
Making important and necessary financial decisions on your behalf and/or paying creditors, utility companies, and others out of your accounts when you are no longer able to do so

Along with a will and other instruments, a person can also set up a trust. A trust can offer significant benefits over a will in certain areas. However, they can also be a lot more complex and expensive to set up. Our attorneys can walk you through the process of creating any type of estate planning instrument you need.

Estate Administration

During the planning of your estate, you will select an executor to handle your estate after your passing. At that time, the executor will be responsible for administering all aspects of the will in accordance with its terms and ultimately close your estate through probate.

Even with the best-designed and comprehensive estate plans, probate takes time, and it can be very frustrating to navigate the process if you are not familiar with the courts, the procedures, and the law.

The lawyers at Staubus, Blankenship, Legere and Walker PLLC have considerable familiarity with all aspects of the probate process, and we have the skills and resources to help you get through the process as efficiently as possible. Contact us today.

Estate Litigation

You hope everything will work out, and even though you will have to wade through probate and wait, you expect to wrap up all areas of your loved ones’ life and move on with your own. Unfortunately, you could discover a major issue with the will itself or with the person charged with administering your loved one’s estate.

Estate litigation is not uncommon and can result from any of the following issues:

Executor misconduct and breach of fiduciary duty, either through incompetence and mistakes or through thievery and fraud
Disputes among beneficiaries and heirs
Will contests involving undue influence, lack of testamentary capacity, or other valid concerns
Claims brought by creditors against the estate

Our lawyers have successfully handled hundreds of estate litigation matters inside and outside the courtroom, and you can count on us to advocate strongly for you when you need us to help protect your rights and the final wishes of your beloved family member. Contact us today.
