We understand planning for end of life care and what happens afterwards is overwhelming. Have peace of mind knowing your desires will be met. 

When planning for end of life care and what should happen afterwards there are a number of considerations any person should make.  Their family, financial, and legal status as well as personal beliefs will dictate what an appropriate end of life plan will look like.  Our estate planning lawyers have considerable expertise in working with clients to review circumstances and develop a plan that will best meet their needs.  When we sit down with a client it is to discuss their ultimate goals.  Once that is determined, we create a plan, with the client that will best accomplish their needs.  This may include any combination of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, representation agreements and advance directives.  Throughout the consultation and drafting process, we provide clients with time and cost estimates to create their plan and we modify these as necessary.

We know that carrying out someone's last wishes can be full of questions and uncertainty. We can help give you clarity and walk you through the process. 

 It is a highly emotional time and everyone reacts differently when faced with the reality of death.  We are experienced in dealing with the various emotions and issues that can arise and how to help resolve them.

Probate is the process that is followed when the deceased had a will whereas Estate Administration is the process that is followed when there is no will.  In both cases there are very specific rules and procedures to be followed to wrap up the affairs of the deceased.  Some assets can be dealt with prior to finalizing the estate while others will be frozen pending the appointment of a Personal Representative.  Regardless of the process that needs to be followed our experienced estate advisors can walk you through the process and provide legal and practical advice about how to proceed.

As we know that the assets of the deceased are typically frozen and they are the funds to be used to pay legal fees we typically do not require a retainer for estate matters.
