Wills, Trusts & Estates
General Description: The process of putting into order your papers, possessions and directives for life’s end requires many important decisions that are often tied to strong emotions involving family, friends and experiences. At such a time it is important to have guidance and assistance that is not only knowledgeable and experienced, but also trustworthy and sensitive to your needs, objectives and time of life.
The attorneys at Lindabury, McCormick, Estabrook & Cooper have been helping individuals and their families for fifty years. We help clients understand the issues, the process, the decisions and the consequences of steps they are taking regarding their estates. We help them evaluate assets, resolve unsettled matters and prepare documents in accordance with their personal and family situations and objectives.
Our trusts and estates attorneys work closely with clients to prepare wills, living wills, trusts, powers of attorney, family limited partnerships and other documents necessary to accomplish their desired goals. We assist in minimizing the impact of taxation on assets; help develop expeditious and cost-effective plans for the disposition of assets (during lifetime or at death); and handle all administrative aspects of estates, trusts and guardianships. We routinely advise clients on estate administration and probate law and opportunities to reduce administrative and legal costs in these areas. We also have extensive experience in probate law and estate litigation, having represented fiduciaries and beneficiaries in both defending and prosecuting actions in state court.
Lindabury’s Wills, Trusts and Estates attorneys have for many years handled the routine and complex needs of our clients. We have drawn on our extensive experience in our many business practices and other areas when necessary to provide our most effective counsel. We have been committed to staying at the forefront of changes in tax law so that we can provide techniques for responding to new law appropriately.
Carefully documented plans for the disposition of your assets and for your medical care are the best way to ensure that your wishes and intentions are fulfilled. We are here to provide you with the legal services to help make those plans happen.
