Our Estate Planning Practice
We recognize that every estate is different and each client has unique objectives when putting together an estate plan. When you hire us to help you formulate a plan for the distribution of assets upon death, we will start by gathering as much information as we can about your situation, including your finances and your goals. We will carefully explain the different strategies available to help you meet your objectives, including the use of wills and trusts, the re-titling of property to avoid probate, and lifetime gifts.
Once you have determined which approach will best help you achieve your goals, we will prepare and execute all the documents necessary to put your estate plan in place, including:
- Wills
- Trusts, including revocable or irrevocable living trusts, testamentary trusts, special needs trusts
- Powers of attorney
- Advance medical or health care directives
If you have moved to Washington from another state, the will you have in place may not meet the statutory requirements here. We will review your existing estate plan and tell you if you need to make any revisions.
It is important to understand that you don't need to have a large estate or a substantial amount of wealth to benefit from the use of a will or trust. A trust can transfer title to your property immediately, so that you don't have to worry about the cost or expense of probate.
