Estate Planning
Report
An estate plan is something you should have in place at all stages of your adult life so that your wishes regarding the transfer of property to your heirs, appointment of guardians of your children (should that become necessary) and other issues (such as burial and funeral preferences) are honored and conducted as smoothly as possible.
Business Law
Report
In a family business, a single family controls business activities such as leasing property, strategic planning, marketing of products and succession planning. There are also financial transactions to be considered, including asset purchases, raising capital for business expansion and sales, mergers and acquisitions.
Family Law
Report
Divorce proceedings in and of themselves can be complicated and challenging matters to deal with. When business ownership is involved, divorce proceedings can become overwhelming issues to deal with alone. Fortunately, with the assistance of an experienced lawyer, you may be able to find the resolutions and closure you need to move on, without harm befalling your business or your financial well being.

Wills
Report
A will has legal effect only upon death and thus can be amended or revoked anytime during the testator's life as long as the testator is mentally competent, not being "unduly influenced" and has not agreed in a contract to not amend the will.
Because a will only has legal effect upon death, it is important to appoint persons to act on your behalf during your life if you become mentally or physically incapacitated, which is accomplished using powers of attorney, which are discussed below.Many married people believe their spouse would have the right to act for them in a legal capacity if they become incapacitated without these powers of attorney, but that is not correct.
