Meyer Law Office P.C. prepares wills, trusts, financial power of attorneys, and advanced healthcare directives on a daily basis in addition to serving clients in all aspects of estate administration.

 

If you have children or any amount of assets, it is absolutely essential that you have a will to safeguard your assets and ensure that your property is distributed according to your wishes. Testamentary trusts are often set up within the will to preserve your assets upon death and determine the administration of your children’s inheritance.

 

A durable financial power of attorney is also an essential tool of estate administration. This document appoints another person to serve as your agent to make financial decisions, sign documents, pay bills, and conduct property transactions on your behalf.   Finally, an advanced healthcare directive contains two components. The first component is the durable healthcare power of attorney, a document in which you appoint an agent to make medical and healthcare decisions on your behalf.  The second component is the living will, a document wherein you authorize which medical treatments you will receive when you reach an end-stage medical condition or become permanently unconscious.

 

With respect to estate administration, Attorney Meyer guides clients from the opening of estates at the Register of Wills to the finalization of estates by filing a final receipt, family settlement agreement, or first and final account with the Court.  In between, Meyer Law Office P.C. works collaboratively with its clients to gather all estate assets, file the inheritance tax return (making a prepayment within 3 months of the date of death to obtain a 5% discount), resolve disputes, and prepare the documents necessary for a proper distribution to the estate’s heirs.

 

Finally, Meyer Law Office P.C. has extensive experience in will contests and other litigation matters pertaining to estates.
