HOW WE HELP

Wills & Estates

Thoughtful estate planning can provide clarity for you and the people who matter to you. Our lawyers help clients prepare wills, powers of attorney, and estate plans, and assist executors and families with estate administration after a death.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need a will?

A properly prepared will allows you to set out how you want your estate administered and distributed and can reduce uncertainty for your family.

What is a power of attorney?

A power of attorney allows another person to make certain financial or property decisions on your behalf if circumstances require it.

What does an executor do?

An executor administers the estate, gathers assets, deals with liabilities, completes required legal and tax steps, and distributes the estate according to the will and applicable law.

When is probate required?

Whether probate is required depends on the assets, institutions involved, ownership arrangements, and other circumstances of the estate.
