Estate Planning, Trusts & Probate

At HoganWillig our estate planning attorneys strive to address the specific financial and health care concerns of our clients. Our experienced attorneys and paralegals work closely with clients to determine what estate planning tools are best suited to meet the individual client's needs and goals. Our estate planning team can prepare your Will, Living Will / Health Care Proxy, Power of Attorney or trust. We have been effective in saving thousands of tax dollars and protecting assets through the use of trusts, gifts and creative tax planning devices.

For clients with elderly or disabled family members, our clients benefit from on-staff registered nurses with experience in health care placement and case management. Our dedication and experience has made us well known in the community as strong advocates for the disabled. We endeavor to assist parents of children with special needs to plan and provide for future care. Additionally, we assist clients in determining whether a guardianship may be appropriate for those who have become disabled or who are no longer able to address their needs.

Our estate department also assists clients with the administration of probate proceedings to conclude financial and property matters of a deceased family member. The HoganWillig estate team knows that the death of a family member is emotionally and financially trying. We prepare all court documents, attend court appearances, assist in collecting assets, pay financial expenses, and complete final distribution to beneficiaries. Clients feel confident that our estate team effectively and efficiently manages the affairs of a deceased loved one. We are committed to providing outstanding legal services with responsive attention to our client's needs, while working to attain each client's goal.
