ESTATES
We understand that proper management of your estate is a key part of your legacy. Estate Planning can provide for your long-term care as well as protect your loved ones from expense, delay, and frustration associated with managing your affairs after your passing or incapacitation. We are dedicated to addressing your concerns and developing strategies to provide for your family, friends and causes. With integrity, compassion, and attentiveness, the Mueller Haberman Law Group can help you to develop an estate plan or navigate through the probate process for a loved one.
OUR ESTATE PLANNING SERVICES
We are highly skilled at assisting our clients in creating an estate plan that works for them. We understand how to mitigate an estate’s tax burden, reduce the stress placed on surviving family members, and take steps to avoid the probate process. Our estate planning services include the following.
Wills and Trusts
Wills and trusts provide means of gifting assets to loved ones (or others). Trusts can also be used to avoid probate, while wills can be used to name guardians for minor children or pets. A will or/and a trust is one of the most important documents in an estate plan – if you do not have one, then you will have no say over how your estate is divided when you die.
Durable Power of Attorney
A power of attorney is a document that gives another person the legal right to make decisions on your behalf if you are not able to do so. For example, if you are in an accident and are in a coma, the person you designate as your agent in your Durable Power of Attorney can manage your economic interests.
Advance Directive
An advance directive is a document that designates your agent for decisions regarding your healthcare and expresses your wishes regarding treatment if you cannot express these wishes. An advance directive can be made in regards to life-saving measures, breathing devices, organ donation, intensive surgeries, and more.
OUR PROBATE SERVICES
In addition to helping clients plan for what will happen to their estate, we are also experienced at probating estates; we can guide clients through the probate process after a loved one has died. Managing an estate can be extremely confusing, time consuming, and frustrating, especially in the event that the decedent did not have a will or trust at the time of death. We strive to make probate as efficient and cost-effective during your time of grief.
Contact Our Law Firm Today
No one likes to think about their own death or the death of a loved one. If something is to happen, we want to help ensure that your affairs are in order.
