Estate Planning
Lamfers & Associates, LC., respects your individual estate planning needs. We ask you the questions, but don't dictate the answers unless you want us to—and we listen.
Even if you don’t know what it is, you have an estate plan. That’s because the laws of the state where you live predetermine who will inherit your assets, if you fail to do so yourself. To ensure that your assets are distributed how YOU desire, rather than what the state declares for you when you don’t have a will or trust in place, it’s necessary to have well-drafted estate planning documents.
We'll help you decide whether a will or trust is best for you. If you die without adequate written plans, then a time-consuming and costly process of probate will likely occur, and your assets may pass to relatives you would not have chosen to inherit from you. To avoid this problem, contact us today and schedule an appointment.
Health Care Durable Powers of Attorney
Most people aren’t eager to spend time thinking about what would happen if they became incapacitated and unable to direct their own medical care. But if you don’t write down your wishes about the kinds of treatment you do or don’t want to receive and appoint someone you trust to oversee your care—these important decisions could wind up in the hands of a judge, who will then appoint someone to make these decisions. The person appointed could be someone who knows very little about you.
We can assist you in preparing these very necessary legal documents, so your health care matters are handled the way you want them to be handled.
