Estate Planning

The process whereby a person creates legal documents that outline the disposition of personal and real property upon death. The most common legal tools used are the Last Will and Testament and a Living Trust. The specific documents that are necessary depend upon your specific situation.

Estate planning is particularly important for people who are married with minor children, older adults who have a disabled spouse or disabled adult child, or nontraditional families or couples. The Elder & Disability Law Firm of Victoria L. Collier, PC drafts estate plans for adults of all ages.

Estate Administration

The legal process of going through the court system to distribute property upon death. Although an attorney is not necessary for all estate administration situations, a consultation with an attorney may be helpful to determine if estate administration is necessary, and to explain how to smoothly go through the process.
