With regard to probate and non-probate transfers, I can prepare the documentation needed for either an informal or formal probate (with or without a will) for estates over $50,000.00 in assets. For estates with a value under $50,000.00 I can prepare the documentation for non-probate transfers. I also can prepare documentation for guardianships and conservatorships for either a minor or an incapacitated adult.

Other important documents that I can prepare for you are estate planning documents such as:

Last Will and Testament (a document whereby you state to whom your estate will be given and who will carry out your wishes upon your death)

General Power of Attorney (a document whereby you designate someone to take care of any financial and general decisions on your behalf should you later become mentally or physically unable to do so)

Living Will (a document whereby you designate someone to make the decision to stop any artificial means of keeping you alive should your medical condition become such that there is no hope for your survival...as well as designating someone to take care of any medical decisions on your behalf should you become mentally or physically unable to do so)

Beneficiary Deeds (a document that would transfer ownership of your real property to your beneficiary and would only take effect upon your death. Many times this is done by parents who want to transfer ownership of their real property to their children)
