Special Issues in Estate Planning
Estate Planning Documents can be used to address many unique situations that may come up in your life. For more information, please click on the links below:
Blended Families -- Getting married when you already have children, whether they are adults or still minors, can create some unique planning difficulties. A knowledgeable attorney can help you navigate the difficult planning issues associated with blended families.
Domestic Partnerships -- Sometimes you are unable to marry the person who matters most to you, yet you would still like your estate plan to treat that person as if they are your spouse. We can assist you in achieving that goal with a well crafted plan.
Gun Trusts -- Even though the 2nd Amendment enshrines your right to bear arms, proper planning can help to protect these rights and can protect your family from potential legal issues that can arise.
Cottages and Vacation Homes -- Probate and Estate laws treat second residences in a way that is radically different than primary residences. If you own a second residence, cottage, or vacation home, a sound estate plan is especially vital.
Pets -- The law does not treat our furry friends as part of the family, but any pet owner knows that they are. We can draft planning documents that will ensure that your pets are cared for when you cannot care for them.
Agricultural Use Property -- Your farm, farming equipment, and other agricultural property is valuable to you and your family. Protect it with a proper estate plan.
