The Only Thing More Expensive than a Custom-Drafted Estate Plan Is Regret
While many people put off estate planning, we cannot overstate the importance of these legal documents. A solid estate plan can protect your family and loved ones from a difficult probate process and conflicts that may arise after you are gone. An Estate Plan is best prepared and signed when one is healthy and happy - not in the 11th hour lying in a hospital bed, or when mental capacity is starting to fade. In fact, signing legal documents under such circumstances is a recipe for litigation.
At the Law Offices of Maria N. Jonsson, PC, we can help you with all aspects of estate planning, including:
- Setting up Trusts and Pour Over Wills
- Trust review and Trust amendment
- Assistance with Funding your trust
- Establishing Powers of Attorney
- Creating Advance Health Care Directives
What sets us apart is a commitment to a superior level of client communication and service:
- We take the time to understand your specific family dynamic — the prism through which each case becomes very unique.
- With every case, we look to identify your most important objective and then find and implement a practical solution to reach your goal.
- You can talk to us — and we explain complex legal concepts in plain English.
- We value your time and your commitments. We know you are busy managing a work-life schedule, so we offer flexible consultation times to fit your life commitments.
- We anticipate worst-case scenarios and offer preventative planning advice while keeping you within your budget. However, where the need arises, we have a wide network of highly esteemed legal partners who focus on relevant areas of law that we can confidently refer you to.
