Comprehensive Estate Planning Services

Our attorneys work as a team combining their unique experience and knowledge to guide our clients with their estate planning, administration and probate needs. A complete estate plan may include a combination of some or all of the following:

  • A simple, complex or pour-over will
  • One or more powers of attorney
  • A health care directive
  • One or more trusts

For young adults, a simple will may be a logical place to start on an estate plan, but other components may also be critically important. For example, without a health care directive, family members and health care providers might struggle to determine the best course of action in case of a medical emergency such as an aneurysm or a serious car accident affecting an adult of any age. For couples or single adults with substantial assets, dependent or beloved family members and/or favorite charitable causes, a more robust estate plan can provide peace of mind and save time and effort at a difficult time for a family.

Clear Direction In Probate

Executors (personal representatives) of estates often face a difficult path as they administer complex estates. Even the estates of nonwealthy people can be complex with considerations including the following:

  • Real estate
  • Investment accounts
  • Pending debts, including final medical bills
  • Costs associated with administering an estate
  • Final tax returns
  • Blended families
  • Business assets

Ask our estate administration lawyers in Washington, D.C., about a revocable living trust, special needs trust or any type of trust that matches your intentions for the disposition of your estate after your death.
