Northern Georgia Estate Planning and Probate Lawyers
If you have worked hard to build your net worth, but never created the legal documents to direct the disposition of your assets upon death, you may be inclined to find a free online will and fill in the blanks. That would be a mistake. Every will created that way which we have seen has had problems. Each estate is unique and planning for the distribution of your assets requires a thorough examination of your accumulated property and a review and analysis of the available estate planning tools, in order to determine your best course of action. Proper titling of assets combined with a will may save your surviving spouse, child, or other heirs, significant trouble. Wills need to be coordinated with life insurance and retirement benefits.

Estate Planning/Guardianships/Trusts
In our estate planning practice, we advise clients who need help preparing for the orderly distribution of their estates. Our clients may come from different backgrounds, but they all want the same things: to ensure that their property is distributed according to their wishes upon death with the least amount of trouble for their survivors and to protect minor children or special needs family members.
At Krause & Hirons, we will educate you so that you understand the estate planning tools available to you. We will review and draft all documents necessary to implement an effective estate plan, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care powers of attorney, living wills, or advanced directives. If you have a loved one whose affairs need management, we can help you institute trusts or guardianships in order to protect their interests. This includes the needs of minors who have lost parents.
