Estate Planning, Estate Administration,
and Elder Law
Roberson Law Firm advises its clients
on all aspects of estate planning and elder law. Our attorneys work closely
with our clients to review their individual situations, needs, and goals
in order to craft a practical and straightforward estate plan tailored
to their particular needs. The estate plan which is developed may include
wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care powers of attorney, living
wills, and/or related documents.
While not every client will need a sophisticated estate plan involving
estate tax planning, it is critical that clients have a will to insure
that their estate is distributed as they would wish and that the assets
of their estate are managed properly. Otherwise, in the absence of a will,
a decedent's estate will be administered and distributed in accordance
with default rules established by the state. Those default rules often
provide for a much different division of the property of the estate than
the deceased would have assumed or preferred. Use of a will allows an
individual to set out their wishes in clear terms, and a will can be updated,
amended, or replaced as often as necessary as a person's situation or
wishes change.
Furthermore, for clients with minor children, a will can be useful for
establishing a trust at your death to manage the assets of your estate
until the children are old enough to receive the assets and manage them
themselves. One might also use a will to name a guardian for the children
in case both parents were to die while the children are still minors.
Roberson Law Firm also assists our clients with the probate and administration
of decedent's estates. We frequently represent estates and the executors
or administrators of estates and guide them through the process of opening,
administering, and closing the estates. We also assist our clients with
the creation, operation, and administration of both revocable and irrevocable
trusts.
