My Practice Areas
Currently, I focus on Trust and Estate Planning and Litigation, which may include the following legal documents:
- Wills – A basic estate plan starts with a will, which specifies how your property will be distributed and who will care for minor children if both you and your spouse die. Another component is an advanced health care directive, which lets doctors and loved ones know medical steps to take in a life-threatening situation.
- Living Trusts – A revocable living trust places all your assets in trust for your benefit during your lifetime and indicates where the assets transfer upon your death. You also name a trustee who will be your representative and transfer the assets according to your wishes.
- Powers of Attorney for Healthcare & Financial Needs – A healthcare power of attorney authorizes an agent to make healthcare decisions for you, while a financial power of attorney allows for financial decisions.
- Trust Certification – A certification of trust is used to certify that a trust was established and that property is held in the trust.
I also have experience in the areas of Personal Injury Law, General Civil Litigation and Criminal Defense.
