|
The passing of one’s estate can become an extremely complex process. Our attorneys provide estate planning services to our clients and work with them in the preparation of wills, trusts, powers of attorney and other estate planning documents. It is also crucial to prepare in advance for the possibility of incapacity that could leave you unable to express your healthcare wishes. The attorneys at Walker, Keeling & Carroll, LLP routinely prepare the advance directives to physicians and medical powers of attorney to avoid costly guardianship proceedings.
Realizing that each client has unique requirements, our attorneys work hand in hand with accountants and other financial planning professionals to structure an estate plan that will minimize taxes and ensure your wishes are carried out.
Our firm is also experienced in lawsuits involving will contests and other types of probate litigation. The firm recently won a jury trial for its client in a multi-million dollar estate.
Our attorneys can assist executors or administrators through the probate process and can provide counsel on any litigation issues that may arise during administration of an estate. We routinely assist our clients with matters such as the following:
- Declaration of Heirship Proceedings
- Estate and Probate Litigation
- Estate Planning and Administration (Probating Wills, Muniment of Title Proceedings, Assisting Executors or Administrators and Managing Estates)
- Family Limited Partnerships
- Guardianship Proceedings
- Powers of Attorneys and Advance Directives (Living Wills)
- Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts
- Wills and Statutory Powers of Attorney
