Our Estate Planning Practice
We work with people from all walks of life who want to put together an effective plan for the distribution of property upon death, from newly-formed families to those at or approaching retirement. When you hire us to help you prepare an estate plan, we will gather information about your financial situation and discuss your objectives. We will then recommend the approach that best fits your needs.
Once you have determined how you want to proceed, we will prepare and execute the documents required to put your plan in place, including:
- Wills
- Trusts
- Powers of attorney
- Health care proxies
In all estate planning matters, we work closely with tax experts to make certain that the plan you put in place minimizes any estate or gift tax consequences to your estate.
Our Probate Practice
We work with personal representatives to facilitate the settlement of an estate through the probate court. We will help you prepare an accounting of assets, ensure the payment of all final debts and taxes of the estate, and oversee the orderly distribution of property in accordance with the terms of a will. We represent parties living both inside and outside the state of Arkansas.
Elder Law Issues
Our attorneys work with retirees and senior citizens and their families to plan for the preservation of assets in the event nursing home or long-term care becomes necessary. We will also help you establish a guardianship or conservatorship for an older relative.
