Reliable client service for basic estate planning instruments
Virtually every family stands to benefit from a basic estate plan: a last will and testament to specify the disposition of your assets when you're gone; durable powers of attorney to name the people you'll trust with your financial and medical treatment decisions if you're unable to handle them yourself; and a living will to define the circumstances under which further medical treatment or life support should be terminated in case of the most serious injuries or illnesses.
Our estate planning lawyers also advise clients about the full range of trust instruments available to meet many different personal, financial, or charitable goals: reducing exposure to taxation, addressing the future security of a vulnerable family member, planning for a management transition in a family business, protecting eligibility for Medicaid, or earmarking a part of your estate for charity.
Trust and estate administration for local and out-of-state clients
Many Rhode Islanders depend on our attorneys to advise them about the probate of wills, the administration of trusts, and the duties of an executor or personal representative in probate court. Our familiarity with Rhode Island probate procedures can demystify the estate administration process and help steer you clear of the mistakes that can run up expenses, delay distribution of assets, and even expose you to liability.
As experienced probate lawyers, we also represent heirs, beneficiaries, executors, administrators and trustees in disputes over wills and trusts. In many cases, we can defuse a family dispute over inheritance or the terms of a will through negotiation or mediation. Whenever necessary, however, we can represent your interests in court.
