Choosing the Right Estate Planning
Tools for Your Goals
There are a number of vehicles that can be used for sound estate planning. The question is what combination of tools fits your family, your assets, and your goals.
Our lawyers, with experience going back to our founding in 1993, can help you work through options like these:
Your Will
A will directs how your assets are distributed, empowering you to control your legacy. For parents of minor children, you can name a guardian.
Trusts
A trust isn't just for high-net-worth families. It can help anyone avoid probate, provide for a family member with special needs, or manage assets for children who aren't yet ready to inherit outright.
Probate administration rules vary slightly across our local circuit court clerks' offices, making proactive trust planning especially valuable. Qualifying as an executor or administering an estate through probate requires scheduling formal appointments at the appropriate court.
Financial Power of Attorney
This document authorizes someone you trust to manage your finances if you're unable to, preventing family members from having to petition a court for authority to pay your bills or manage your accounts.
Advance Medical Directives
This combines the healthcare power of attorney with your written wishes for medical care, so your family isn't left guessing or disagreeing during a medical crisis. You can be confident your wishes will be respected and that your loved ones won’t be put into a difficult spot.
Building a Plan Around Your Life
For military families connected to Quantico or Dahlgren, blended families, or anyone whose assets span multiple states, these documents often need to work together in specific ways. Our attorneys care about what matters to your family, and we help keep important details from being overlooked.
