The goal in drafting your will is to ensure that your property will be distributed according to your wishes. We prepare simple wills, wills with trust provisions, living wills and powers of attorney. If a probate is necessary, we work closely with the Personal Representative to settle the estate. This includes accounting for all assets, paying proper bills, and distributing the assets.
