Wills, Trusts, Estate Planning and Probates

Larson Hart & Shepherd provides complete estate-planning services including initial consultations; drafting wills and other documents; safekeeping and storage of the executed documents; and semi-annual reviews to accommodate any significant changes to your estate or financial situation.

Our estate planning attorneys help you decide what type of estate plan best fits your needs and organize and complete these documents:

  • Last Will and Testament
  • Living Trusts and Revocable Living Trusts
  • Trusts for children and grandchildren
  • Health-care directive (also known as a Living Will)
  • Cremation or burial instructions
  • Organ-donation pledges
  • Durable Power of Attorney
  • Durable Power of Attorney for health care
  • Business-succession planning

When someone dies, their estate must be distributed to their heirs. When supervised by the courts, this process is called probate. Probate is not always necessary, but in some situations, probate may be required. Larson Hart & Shepherd is available to help you understand and guide you through the probate process. We also can help draft a will that outlines your desires on distribution of your estate.

Please contact Michael A. Larson if you would like to set up an appointment or if you have questions about wills, trusts, and estate planning services or the probate process.

“They’re like family to us. My dad and I met Ken and Mike five years ago when we were making a transition from Florida. We were looking for a business in the Northwest, and when a car dealership became available in Spokane, they walked through the purchase with us every step of the way. Since then, they’ve been with us through several milestones, including the recent birth of my son. They’re involved in anything that pertains to our business, as well as our estate planning and real estate contracts. I have a tremendous amount of trust in what they do. They’re an awesome law firm.”
