Divorce and other family law disagreements can often be unnecessarily expensive and stressful if they reach the courtroom. Non-Court Dispute Resolution (Alternative Dispute Resolution or ADR) can reduce the time and cost for everyone and has other benefits such as increased privacy and the avoidance of protracted court proceedings. Family law is all we do.
Preserving your wealth and assets is a necessary step to pass them on to the next generation when you are no longer here. Do not wait for a major crisis to start thinking about estate planning. Without a Will, you are leaving major asset distribution decisions in the hands of a probate judge. No matter your age or degree of wealth, the time to start planning for what will happen to your assets after death is now.
First of all, every adult should have a will and an advance directive, also known as a “living will.” Without a will, the laws of your state of residence provide who inherits your estate.
Without an advance directive, your loved ones may be powerless to make critical care and end of decisions. We also draft a variety of powers of attorney to fit our clients’ specific needs.
