Estate Planning

The David Frank Law Group offers comprehensive Estate Planning including:

  • Trusts

  • Wills

  • Guardianship

  • Power of Attorney

  • Medical Directives

 

One of the core values of our firm is to never lose sight of how important buying a home is to our clients. It is probably the biggest purchase you will make in your life and is the place where you will build your most special memories. What a lot of people don't realize is that if your house is not in a trust, it likely will end up in probate court in the event of your death. That means your family will have to hire a lawyer and fight in court to get the assets you intended to give them.

We can help create a customized plan that can be amended as you move through life's different stages. We will ask all the right questions and make sure your wishes, your family, and your home are protected.

 

Having an estate plan is not something that is nice to have- it is absolutely critical to have.

If you own property OR have $100,000 in assets you need a trust and a will to avoid probate. You must protect your home and your loved ones.

It's difficult to explain just how badly you want to avoid probate.

On average, probate will cost your family $12,500. It certainly causes a lot of grief and anguish during an already painful time. We take special care to ensure your Estate Plan is never out-of-date and none of your assets go to probate.

Reach out today so we can make sure you are protected.
