The legal process of transferring of property upon a person’s death is known as “probate.” Although probate customs and laws have changed over time, the purpose has remained much the same: people formalize their intentions as to the transfer of their property at the time of their death, their property is collected, certain debts are paid from the estate, and the property is distributed.

Some of the typical documents we prepare to meet our clients’ needs are Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts, Wills, Durable Powers of Attorney for Assets, Medical Powers of Attorney and other probate, estate planning and wills and trusts related documents.
