Many of our clients have questions about estate plans and elder care. We provide straight answers about wills, trusts, Medicaid, and more. Our goal is to help you feel prepared, not overwhelmed.

If your divorce involves large assets, business interests, or multiple properties, we’ll dig into the details to help you protect what matters most and avoid costly mistakes. We can even work with your accountant or financial planner to sort out complex holdings.

If you’re going through a divorce, we can help you divide property in a way that satisfies the legal requirements and fits your situation. If you and your spouse can’t agree, we can prepare a strong case for court.

We handle trust disputes between trustees and beneficiaries. Whether you believe someone misused funds or failed to follow directions in a trust document, we can review the situation and take action. We also defend trustees facing false claims.
If you think a will is fake, forced, or unfair, our attorneys can help you challenge it. We can also defend wills if someone contests them without good reason. We’ll collect the right proof and work swiftly to protect your rights and your loved one’s wishes.
