Trusts and Estate Planning
We understand the importance of a properly drafted will. Without a will, state law decides who will receive your property and who can administer your estate without consideration of your wishes or the needs of your family and friends. Your will guarantees that your assets are distributed according to your wishes and instructions.
Drafting involves various delicate concerns including custody, health-care issues, real estate, personal finances, and taxes. Our firm will ensure that your will is properly drafted, created and executed and will stand up in court.
In addition to will drafting, the attorneys at Lau-Kee Law Group are experienced in preparing other estate planning instruments to secure your family’s future. Our firm is determined to establish an estate plan that addresses your distinct needs. We can help minimize estate taxes, created directives in the event of incapacity, avoid probate in certain circumstances, protect your assets, provide for your children and loved ones and ensure that your requests and wishes are met.
Whether the client passed away with or without a Will or Trust, administrators, executors and trustees are required to handle a range of tasks with accountability to their heirs, the courts and the taxing authorities. Failing to do any of these timely or correctly can have a negative impact on the estate, estate assets, taxes and most of all its beneficiaries. At Lau-Kee Law Group, our attorneys helps administrators, executors, and trustees carry out their responsibilities, including:
Admitting the Will to probate
Petition to administer the estate
Settling and distributing estate and/or trust assets
Inventorying and collecting assets
Accounting to beneficiaries
Overseeing time sensitive issues, such as disposition of real and tangible property
