Our Estate Planning Expertise
Estate planning is the process of arranging for the management and disposal of your estate during your lifetime and after death. At Heirstead Probate & Legal Affairs, we understand that planning for the future can be a complex and emotional process. Our experienced estate planning attorneys provide compassionate guidance and expert legal advice to help you create a comprehensive plan that reflects your wishes and protects your loved ones.
Our Estate Planning Services Include:
Will Drafting
We assist in creating legally binding wills that clearly express your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets, guardianship of minor children, and other important matters. Our attorneys ensure that your will complies with all legal requirements and minimizes the potential for disputes.
Trust Creation
Our team helps establish various types of trusts, including revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, and charitable trusts. Trusts can help you avoid probate, reduce taxes, protect assets, and provide for loved ones with special needs.
Power of Attorney
We assist in creating durable powers of attorney for financial and healthcare decisions, ensuring that someone you trust can make important decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
Healthcare Directives
Our attorneys help you prepare advance healthcare directives, including living wills and healthcare proxies, that specify your wishes regarding medical treatment and end-of-life care.
