Comprehensive Estate Planning Legal Services
Estate planning encompasses the drafting of wills and trusts. It puts the creator of the estate planning in the decision-making role, rather than leaving it to the state to decide how assets will someday be distributed.
Estate planning is not only about what happens to property after death. It also has to do with quality of life decisions. Our estate planning clients make clear determinations related to health care in the event of physical or mental incapacitation.
Healthcare proxies and powers of attorney enable an individual to designate a personal representative who will make key decisions on their behalf. Part of our success at Marcus Ollman & Kommer, LLP, in developing estate plans involves bringing in experts from the insurance industry. Life insurance and long-term care issues must be addressed within the estate plan as well.
Identifying Your Estate Planning Needs
At your first estate planning meeting in the law office of Marcus Ollman & Kommer, LLP, we will assess your financial situation and advise you on the proper course of action in developing an estate plan. Our services go beyond the mere drafting of a will or other documents. Many clients come to us unsure of what they need related to finances, healthcare issues, and family needs. We help them decide where assets will be directed and how to account for any unique requirements, such as a disabled or unreliable child.
Representing Clients in Probate Court
In many cases, no comprehensive estate plan is in place, and clients call upon us for probate administration needs after the death of a loved one - with or without a will. Many times, the lack of an estate plan can create disputes in a family over money and property. We meet with families who may be grieving and may not be at their best in making decisions. Our job is to represent the descendants of the deceased, and to ensure that the assets and finances are fairly and legally distributed.
