The Wladis Law Firm assists individuals and families with personal estate planning and business succession planning. Our estate planning attorneys look at the big picture to create an estate plan tailored to each client’s circumstances.
Upon meeting with clients, our estate planning lawyers will recommend an estate plan that will best address your particular situation.
We can help with your estate planning checklist that may include:
- Last will and testament;
- Revocable (or living) trusts;
- Irrevocable trusts;
- Powers of Attorney;
- Health Care Powers of Attorney (or Proxy);
- Living wills; and
- Special (or supplemental) needs trusts.
Regardless of the size of an individual’s estate, it is always important to plan for what the uncertain future holds. This avoids unnecessary costs and frustrations for your family members.
Proactive planning can help ensure that many important matters are considered and provided for, including:
- Appointing a guardian for the client’s minor children;
- Appointing an executor the client trusts to administer their estate;
- Allocating assets according to the individual’s wishes, without being bound by how the law instructs in the absence of a will; and
- Protecting inheritance from creditors of all kinds (judgment, marital, and financial).
The Wladis Law Firm also assists clients in their time of need, when they must administer the estate of a loved one who recently passed away. Our team handles the situation with care, ensuring that our clients have guidance at each step of the administrative process with the Surrogate’s Court.
