What Are the Legal Aspects of Estate Planning?
The legal aspects of estate planning involve drafting living wills, trusts, power of attorney (POA), and other legal documents to simplify any transfer and manage the property after death. When estates are not manageable, and someone dies without a will, distribution of possessions goes to their next kin.
An individual can also hire an estate planning lawyer hourly to handle a level of maintenance to your estate, take care of disputes when necessary, and make sure your Will carries out according to plan.

"DUI for charging my phone"Great team, Chris and Angela are great, although things didn’t go easy through the COVID period they battled for me, unfortunately my Life took a turn and regretfully I backed out of going to trial and took the plea offered, I know what I did and I would make the same decision again in that situation but unfortunately some of the best decisions are punishable by law, I truly think Mr. Garret would have been a force to be reckoned with at trial, and I would have love to have witnessed it, but life is life. I would whole heartedly recommend him and his team, they where a blessing to me in the understanding all my circumstances.. God Bless- Ken Strickland
