Estate Planning and Real Estate Law Services

Estate planning is a process which involves the counsel of professional advisors who are familiar with your goals and concerns. It entails the transfer of property at death as well as a variety of other personal matters. The core document most often associated with this process is your Will. Other documents that are part of a well established estate plan include a Durable Power of Attorney, a Health Care Proxy, a Living Will and any trust documents.

Residential Real Estate Services- while a real estate broker will help sell your house, your attorney is the only one who will be working soley for your benefit during the buying or selling of your home.

An attorney will assist in several ways in this process:

1) Drafts, Reviews and negotiates the Contract of Sale;

2) Ensures that all legalities are complied with;

3) Reviews the Abstract of Title

4) Coordinates the closing of title and mortgage loan.

Protect your loved ones

The most important document in most Estate Plans is the Will. A Will states your preference as to what happens to your property after death. Even if you take measures to avoid probate (the process of adjudicating a Will), you still need a Will for the remaining assets.

A Will is also important not just to convey property, but for other matters such as choosing a guardian for your children or employing tax avoidance techniques.

However, a Will does not direct funds that are held jointly or where a beneficiary is named such as life insurance, 401k's or Deferred Compensation.
