Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning
We have enabled clients with large estates subject to federal estate taxation to avoid or minimize that tax exposure through strategic gifting and specially designed trusts. We also provide any family with the individualized documents to dictate distribution of assets upon death or management of business and health care concerns if you are incapacitated.
Attorney Marissa Watson offers focused knowledge of trust planning, wills, powers of attorney, living wills, health care powers of attorney, beneficiary deeds and joint tenancy deeds.
Probate Court Matters
Our lawyers are available to assist and advise survivors on the simplest method to probate an estate, including simplified summary probates when applicable. We also assist trust administrators in distributions, annual reporting and other duties.
Guardianships and conservatorships for minor children or an elderly parent may be necessary to safeguard their assets and assume authority for their welfare. A six-month limited child care power of attorney may be sufficient in many cases.
Lastly, we can represent beneficiaries, excluded heirs or the estate in will contests and other litigated probate matters.
