Shannon, P.C., I can help you protect your family's future through the right will, trust, or combination of the two.

Plan for tomorrow, today

I attend to all legal matters pertaining to your estate, such as—

I identify the will or trust that best fits your needs and then draft a customized estate plan detailing your wishes in a clear and legally sound manner. This is the best way to ensure that your estate is distributed according to your preferences.

Wills

A will settles your debts and distributes your property and finances as directed. For individuals with minor children, a will can appoint guardians for their care. Ultimately, a properly prepared will may reduce estate expenses and limit any conflict between beneficiaries by clearly stating how, when, and to whom your estate will be dispersed.

Trusts

A living trust allows you to avoid probate, provide for management of your affairs during incapacitation, and plan for the long-term allocation of your estate. If a trust fits your needs, I can draft the legal documents creating the trust and help you identify and appoint a trustee or trust administrator.
