Creating a Will
The fundamental estate planning document is the will. In drafting a will for you, an attorney at our will work closely with you. We will explore your family situation, your financial situation and your long-term goals. We can then draft a will and other estate planning documents that can protect your assets and help you achieve your goals.
As your family and financial situations change, we can update your will to reflect your changed circumstances.
The Power of a Living Trust
A living trust can enable you to avoid probate, preserving estate assets and speeding the distribution of estate assets to an estate's beneficiaries. Our firm has extensive experience in the use of living trusts to achieve our client's goals. We can establish a living trust for you for an affordable flat fee.
Living trusts are not for everyone. A living trust puts constraints of the transfer of assets and requires a periodic review of your assets to make sure they are still included in the trust. An attorney at the Law Offices of James W. McNeilly, Jr. LLC can evaluate your situation and help you make the right decision.
The Use of a Life Estate
In addition to various types of trusts, you may wish to consider establishing a life estate. With a life estate, parents can transfer title to a house to their children, while allowing them to live there as long as they can. This solution can provide a sense of security and continuity and keep the property out of probate. We can tell you more about a life estate and establish one if it is right for you.
