Most people do not have a Will and shy away from estate planning. They get intimidated by the presumed complexity and cost of the task. Our experienced and compassionate lawyers and paralegals can help you through the process painlessly, quickly and cost-effectively. Our goal is to ensure that your property is distributed according to your wishes or legal rights.

You are an integral part of the decision-making process. Our objective is to help you identify and achieve your goals by implementing an estate planning strategy that you will meet all your needs and expectations.

Maybe you want to increase the amount of money you leave to family, friends or nonprofit organizations. If you have minor children, you will want to name surrogate parents to ensure the children are properly cared for. Perhaps you want to avoid or minimize estate and income taxes, establish trusts for any number of beneficiaries or provide for a disabled child. With our help, a good estate plan will accomplish these objectives.

If you become incapacitated, you want to be sure that someone will step into your shoes and accomplish needed tasks for you. We can help by preparing a Power of Attorney, so that you are not left unprepared and unprotected. Would you like to determine the medical treatment you receive during your final weeks of life? Our experienced staff will help by preparing a Living Will or Health Care Proxy tailored to your specific wishes.

Estate planning does not need to be costly or painful. Let us work with you to ensure that your goals are met. Your peace of mind is important to us at Willis & Gresek Counsellors at Law.
