Estate Planning And Probate Services From A Local Ashland Lawyer

Estate Planning Services For Individuals And Families

There is an unfortunate misconception that estate planning is only for the wealthy or the elderly. The truth of the matter is that everyone – no matter their age or the size of their estate – can benefit from having an estate plan in place. Estate planning is the opportunity to make decisions now about how you want your financial assets and property handled when you are gone or no longer of sound mind. A comprehensive estate plan can serve as a gift to your heirs, providing them with peace of mind while protecting the legacy you have worked so hard to build.

Everyone Needs An Estate Plan

Yes, this includes you. By planning your estate, you make it easier for your loved ones to deal with life’s transitions while making sure your wishes are legally enforceable. An estate plan can consist of relatively straightforward documents such as a will and power of attorney, or it can include complex trusts designed to meet specific purposes. Everyone should have a plan, but it is up to you to decide how complex your plan will be.

Estate Planning Tailored To Your Unique Circumstances And Goals

At Shattuck Law Office, LLC, I have been helping my fellow Kansans plan their estates for more than 35 years. I can help you with all estate planning-related issues, including:

  • Wills
  • Trusts, including charitable trusts and special needs trusts
  • Powers of attorney
  • Conservatorships
  • Transfer-on-death deeds
  • Medicaid planning

When you come to me for help with estate planning, I take the time to get to know you and understand your goals. I will discuss your options with you, give you candid advice and won’t try to talk you into something more than what you need. Once we have outlined your goals, I draw on my training and experience to draft estate planning documents that will hold up to legal scrutiny and put your wishes into effect. With a good estate plan, you can smooth life’s transitions and build a legacy that will help your loved ones or favorite charities long into the future.
