Estate planning can be a complex process. In order to provide the best legal counsel and assistance with your legacy, our focus is providing estate plans that address your specific circumstances and needs.
Estate planning is not a one-size-fits-all service. From a simple individual will to several complex trusts, you can rely on us to create a plan that fits your specific circumstances. The legal process requires in-depth research, deep understanding, and meticulous planning to ensure your legacy is protected on your journey through life. With this knowledge, we can help make the process as easy as possible for you and your loved ones and guide you through each step.
Many different tools are used to create an estate plan, and we will create one that is best for you. Our tools include:
Various types of Trusts, including:
Revocable Trusts for Individuals
Revocable Family Trusts for Married Couples
Special Needs Trusts
Spousal Lifetime Access Trusts
Pet Trusts
Firearm (NFA) Trusts
And other forms of complex trusts for asset protection
Wills (Last Will and Testament, Pour-Over Will, Ethical Will, and Living Will)
Powers of Attorney
Health Care Directives
Prenuptial Agreements
Each type of estate plan is unique for each person. Your plan may include different provisions to cater to your personal, family, or business needs. Whether you have a complex circumstance needing in-depth solutions or simply wish to have a basic will, we will create the right one for you. You can learn more about estate plans in their different forms by clicking on the “Articles” tab in the main menu.
Informal Probate
Unfortunately, many pass away before having a trust in place. In these instances, it often necessary for their family to seek an appointment of a Personal Representative, a person who can manage the decedent’s estate, who can then distribute assets, pay creditors, sell property, and handle all of the other issues that can come up. The process of appointing a Personal Representative and managing the estate after a person has passed on is called Probate.
Probate can quickly become a complex process and the legal process overwhelming, especially during an already difficult time for the family. We at Groneman Law Firm help clients with Informal Probate (also referred to as Uncontested Probate in which there is little to no dispute over the estate and the case is filed within three years of the person’s death), ensuring the legal process is followed and the estate is properly managed.
