To avoid further stress for your heirs you would be wise to consult an estate planning lawyer. It’s not just about leaving property to your loved ones, rather, estate planning governs health care instructions and assigning a person to make financial decisions should you become incapacitated. You want to be certain that what you have worked for all your life is distributed to people you care about when you die. When you sit down to discuss your estate planning needs, you will be sitting down with a knowledgeable professional who keeps your best interests in mind. Attorney Brian Murphy will listen to you carefully as you describe your family and financial situation, and what you would like to accomplish with your estate plans. Then our team will create the necessary documents needed to achieve your goals.
These documents usually include a will, a living will, and possibly a power of attorney. We can also discuss more complex needs, such as a special needs trust, planning for nursing home care, and other issues. When a significant life event occurs – such as a marriage, a child being born, or a divorce, we can amend your will and other estate documents to fit these changes.
