We Have The Tools To Make It Happen

Without a sound estate plan in place, your loved ones may be subject to unnecessary state and federal tax burdens when your estate is administered. A skilled estate planning attorney can help you choose the estate planning vehicles that protect your wealth, including wills and various types of revocable and irrevocable trusts. These legal tools can help you avoid probate, allowing you to maximize the amount of property and assets you can leave to your loved ones.

Estate planning can also allow you to provide written instructions over how you want your finances and health care handled if you should become incapacitated. Our firm can help you create living wills and durable powers of attorney for health care and financial matters so that your loved ones don’t have to make incredibly difficult and personal decisions without your guidance. We can also draw up documents that protect your heirs from creditors, former spouses and even their own selves.

Whatever your needs, you can rest assured that we will handle them with the utmost care and attention to detail. We have extensive experience handling smaller estates as well as complex, high-asset estates for clients throughout Georgia.

Domestic Partnership Estate Plans

Estate planning is particularly important for people in domestic partnerships, as they are not afforded the protections offered by marriage. For example, establishing a medical power of attorney as part of an advance health care directive will make sure that your partner has a say in your health care decisions if or when you cannot make these decisions for yourself.

Because a domestic partner will not automatically receive a share of your estate, creating a sound estate plan is an excellent way to make sure he or she is taken care of after you’ve passed.

Our law firm has experience in the complex area of estate planning with IRAs and other retirement plans. We help ensure clients and their beneficiaries are protected by employing tax reduction techniques.
