Estate planning involves the use of Wills and Trusts to manage your assets during your lifetime and distribution of your assets to your loved one, potentially without the expense of probate. Trusts and other arrangements can also be used to qualify you for Medicaid without exhausting all of your hard-earned assets first. It is also possible to use trusts to protect the inheritance of a loved one with special needs or developmental disabilities to ensure that the inheritance is used for their benefit and not used to pay for Medicaid benefits. If a probate is necessary we work efficiently to ensure the smooth transfer of your assets to your loved ones. We are also often involved in probate litigation, such as Will contests, and have an excellent success rate in defending against such claims.

Guardianship law is intended to protect the most vulnerable among us from financial exploitation and physical harm. It is often essential for the guardian to use trusts and other arrangements to qualify the incapacitated person for medicaid so that they do not deplete their resources.

We practice in all aspects of Family Law, including  adoption, dissolution of marriage, Paternity of children born out of wedlock, parenting plan and timesharing issues,  child support, and name changes.
