DivorceEstate Planning
Many life circumstances occur that prompt individuals to think about their future and the future of their family. There are also circumstances that may make it appropriate to revisit an estate plan to ensure it is still meeting your needs and goals. For example, if you were recently divorced, it might make sense to reevaluate your will, trusts, and other estate planning documents and make any necessary updates. Our lawyers have in-depth experience helping clients prepare for the future, and we work hard to help you complete your estate planning process in an efficient and comprehensible manner.
