Estate Planning and Probate

  • Estate Planning Tailored to Your Needs

    Whether in need of a simple will, a trust, or planning to transition your family business or farm, our attorneys have the experience and expertise to help you develop and implement your estate plan.

    Estate planning can be an emotional and potentially confusing ordeal. We pride ourselves on providing a practical yet effective approach. We’ll take the time to listen and understand your unique situation and concerns and develop a tailored plan for your circumstances.

    Plans are only valuable if properly executed. We’ll help ensure that you not only have a plan in place, but that you understand the plan and how to implement it.

  • “Plans are nothing, planning is everything.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower

    Having a plan in place is critical, but its also crucial to recognize that things change and you may need to adapt your plan to meet those changes. Our attorneys develop relationships with clients and can provide long-term assistance in developing a plan and providing periodic updates based on changing financial and business circumstances, relationships, and laws and tax codes.

    We also have decades of experience handling probate issues and resolving disputes through alternative resolutions or litigating through the trial and appellate courts.
