Estate Planning at Wells Law Office
Estate planning is an essential step in securing your future and ensuring your wishes are honored. At Wells Law Office, we specialize in creating comprehensive estate plans tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. Our services include drafting Wills, establishing Trusts, and preparing Powers of Attorney, all crucial elements in safeguarding your legacy.
​
Wills: Your Wishes, Documented
A Will is a fundamental part of any estate plan. It dictates how your assets will be distributed upon your passing. Without a Will, state laws will determine how your estate is divided, which may not align with your wishes.
​
How We Assist with Wills:
-
Drafting and Updating Wills: Creating a legally-binding document that reflects your current wishes.
-
Guidance on Asset Distribution: Advising on the best ways to allocate your assets to beneficiaries.
-
Executor Assistance: Providing support to executors in carrying out your wishes.
​
Trusts: Managing Your Assets for the Future
Trusts are versatile tools for estate planning. They offer more control over how and when your assets are distributed and can provide tax benefits or protection for your beneficiaries.
Our Trust Services Include:
-
Establishing Trusts: Setting up various types of trusts based on your goals.
-
Trust Administration: Advising trustees on how to manage trust assets effectively.
-
Beneficiary Protection: Structuring trusts to protect beneficiaries from potential financial pitfalls.
​
Power of Attorney: Ensuring Decisions Are Made
A Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. This can cover financial matters, healthcare decisions, or both.
​
Our Power of Attorney Services:
-
Drafting Documents: Creating a Power of Attorney that meets your specific needs.
-
Advising on Selection: Helping you choose a trusted individual to act on your behalf.
-
Clarifying Authority: Outlining the extent and limitations of the appointed person's decision-making power.
