Trust and Estate Litigation
When there are Will or Trust disputes, our firm can step in and help make sure that your position, or that of a departed loved one, is represented. Our Will and Trust litigation experience allows us to make what are often effective efforts to resolve disputes without litigation. But when litigation is necessary, we confidently and comprehensively and forcefully present your case in court and to opposing sides. As Trusts become more common, more legal challenges are being presented. The Law Offices of Robert H. Powsner understands and is prepared for these ongoing challenges.
Estate Planning and Administration
Trusts are generally more flexible instruments than Wills for the direction and protection of your estate and those you intend to honor. Consequently Trusts are often a wise choice when planning an estate.
If you already have a Will or Trust in place, or need Will or Trust administration for the assets that were left to you, our firm can provide the legal solutions to make the process as easy as possible. Our firm will thoroughly review your situation and make the correct recommendations for your individual needs.
- Setting up a Trust or a Will can help you protect you, your family and your business for the future. There is a misconception that Trusts and Wills are only useful for the fabulously wealthy. In fact, anyone with assets to leave can benefit.
- You can set up powers of attorney and health care directives that, in case you become incapacitated, will allow financial and health care decisions to be made in your best interest.
- If you have children, their guardianship and their financial future can be protected through a Trust or a Will.
- If you should die without leaving a Will or Trust, the procedures the state will mandate may not reflect your wishes for administration of your estate. Estate planning with a Will and Trust insures that your wishes and decisions will be carried out.
- In case of substantial estates, estate planning can and does create tax savings.
-
Court proceedings for probate of a Will can be avoided and the distribution of your estate greatly expedited by using as your primary instrument a Revocable Living Trust.
