Providing Wills, Trusts, Powers Of Attorney And More | Living Will Lawyer Serving Chester County And Southeastern Pennsylvania

Terry can help you to create a diversified and comprehensive estate plan for any estate-related contingency, concerning:

• Wills that determine how your assets are apportioned after you die.
• Trusts, including special needs trusts, spendthrift trusts, and life insurance trusts, that preserve your assets for assigned purposes during your life or after your death.
• Durable powers of attorney that appoint a representative to act as your agent (often an adult child or relative) to do your banking, sell your home, admit you to hospital or nursing care, and perform other authorized tasks if you become incapacitated or disabled. We also help clients to appoint executors and trustees.
• Living wills/end-of-days directives that define the degree and scope of your medical care if you become incapacitated or are near death
• Health care proxies that appoint a representative, such as a doctor, to manage your health care and/or make medical decisions on your behalf.
• Guardianships that provide for the financial and personal needs of your beloved minor children or disabled relatives.

Probate Representation For Individuals And Families

A well-constructed estate plan can be a valuable gift to your children, heirs and beneficiaries. Why? Because it provides clear instructions as to how your assets will be distributed when you die. This clarity can prevent misunderstandings by the court during the probate process, and can reduce the potential for a legal fight among your survivors. Terry’s attention to detail can benefit any client who wishes to avoid probate problems and preserve family harmony. She also represents clients in probate litigation in which a will is missing, incomplete or fraudulent.
