>>Provide a legacy, not a mess<<

A woman prepares a will and names her sister as executor. She has other siblings but is not close to them and does not want them to handle her affairs. Yet the woman fails to name a successor executor in case her sister is unable to serve. The woman passes away and her sister is ill and cannot serve as executor. Since she failed to name a successor executor, one of her other siblings is appointed executor – Or at least that is what could have happened, if the woman hadn’t contacted us for guidance. Now her will accounts for all possible contingencies and she loses no sleep at night, knowing that everything is set up correctly.

>>Ensure fairness<<

A woman’s brother was running their father’s estate yet not communicating to the point of acting suspiciously. Some assets seemed to have ‘disappeared’. Was her father’s last-minute will being respected? Another family member was placing unreasonable demands. A dispute over an estate can put tremendous strain on families. Thankfully, the law sets clear guidelines, allowing a skilled and caring attorney to fix things before a bad situation becomes worse. The woman’s family weathered the storm and she is happy that her father’s estate was handled fairly.
