Personal Representative

Heidi is a bright star in the universe of Family Planning Attorneys!
Choosing a attorney to trust with your family planning is difficult at the least. We met with various attorneys in hopes the selection process would be easy. Until we met with Heidi we found small things bothered us about each attorney we interviewed.
When we met with Heidi we signed a contract at the end of the meeting. That was unusual for us because, trust me, we like to do due diligence in any decision we make. Heidi not only impressed us with her practical knowledge but her advice and rationale was on the mark.
Now that we have completed our planning I can say we were not disappointed and we feel like we we have someone that will stick with us and our family in case of the unexpected, or just the normal expectations of life and death.
Thank you Heidi for your caring and competence.

Heidi is amazing! She prepared all of our estate documents. She took the time to understand our needs, prepared everything based upon our needs and desires, and explained everything thoroughly, yet in terms that were easily understood. I HIGHLY recommend Heidi! She's very knowledgeable, professional and accessible. She also has an amazing staff!

Basic Will Package

While we often don’t like to think about dying, it is imperative that we do take the time to ponder the notion and consider how our family members will be taken care of, both immediately and long after we are gone. Regardless of your age or health, a basic Estate Planning package is beneficial in ensuring your final wishes are followed through and that your family gets as many of your assets as possible.

Proper estate planning, with a Last Will and Testament, Healthcare Directive, Living Will, Durable Power of Attorney, and Trusts when necessary, can save your loved ones a lot of time, stress and money.

With the assistance of an estate planning attorney, probate avoidance is very possible and more of your assets can go to your loved ones instead of legal expenses.

  • Basic Will – A basic will is a legal document that directs the probate court as to how you would like your assets distributed. In your will, you will appoint a personal representative to oversee the probate process, and if necessary you can also designate a guardian for your minor children in your will. While a will is an essential building block to any estate plan – and will certainly make the probate process smoother – it still must be verified in court and the assets must go through probate before distribution. While in probate, legal fees, taxes and court costs are paid from the estate of the decedent, inevitably decreasing the amount the beneficiaries will receive in the end. To ensure probate avoidance, further estate planning is usually necessary but having a will in place will expedite the probate process and ensure that your wishes are carried out after your death.
  •  
  • Durable Power of Attorney (POA) – This is a document that goes into effect upon signing but in the event you become incapacitated or unable to handle your own matters it does not terminate. You authorize an individual or individuals that you personally select to act on your behalf. The POA can be as broad or as limited as you specify. It can involve selling and holding property, signing tax returns and checks, entering into contracts or agreements, withdrawing funds or making deposits, maintaining business interests and more.
  •  
  • Health Care Directive – This is a document that goes into effect upon signing but in the event you become incapacitated or unable to handle your own matters it does not terminate. You authorize an individual or individuals that you personally select to act on your behalf in regards to your medical needs.
  •  
  • Living Will – This is a legal document that enables your medical providers and loved ones know your desires for medical treatment and end of life care. It can include whether you would want life support equipment, if you are willing to undergo particular medical testing, if you would want to undergo surgical procedures, whether you would opt for various treatment options or even if you would like to donate your organs. This document can reduce the stress faced by your loved ones because they would not be forced to make these decisions for you.

These documents are all included within the basic estate planning package. Depending upon your assets and goals, you may want to form a Trust to avoid the probate process when possible.
