Wills, Trusts, Estate Planning & Probates
Although most of us are aware that we need a will, the majority of us do not have one. We procrastinate for many reasons, but it is important to know that writing a will does not have to be complicated. Once it's done, we can rest easier, knowing that our wishes will be followed after our death.
Larson Hart & Shepherd, PLLC provides complete estate planning services, including initial consultations, document drafting and final preparations, safekeeping and storage of the executed documents, and semi-annual reviews to accommodate any significant changes to your estate or financial situation. We can help you decide what type of estate plan best fits your needs, and organize and complete the following:
- 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; and
- business succession planning.
After 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, PLLC is available to help you understand and to guide you through the probate process.
Please contact Michael A. Larson and the law firm of Larson Hart & Shepherd, PLLC if you would like to set up an appointment, or if you have any further questions about wills, trusts, and estate planning services or the probate process.
