Wills and Probate

Estate Planning • Will and Trust Attorney • Conservator

Even if you are young, it is important to memorialize your wishes in writing before the unexpected occurs. Failing to spell out your intentions in writing forces your family and the court to determine them upon your death or incapacity. To learn how you can save your family from this emotional stress, call Berlin, Connecticut, Berlin Law Offices, LLC, at 866-587-6215 or 860-398-4871. We advise people about wills, trusts, and estate planning throughout Connecticut, including the cities of Wethersfield, Newington, Hartford, and Middletown.

In order to reduce time and money probating your estate, contact an estate planning attorney. Sit down during a free initial consultation with Robert P. Murphy, and explain your financial and healthcare plans to us. After assessing your goals, we will draft the appropriate instruments, such as a will, trust, financial power of attorney, or living will. Keeping in mind the potential tax consequences, we strive to ensure your intentions are understood upon your death or incapacitation.

Living Will and Power of Attorney or Healthcare Agent

A living will and power of attorney are documents that describe what medical care you want to receive, and whom you authorize to make decisions about your finances and healthcare. Without these documents as a guide, the court must appoint a conservator to make decisions for you. Make sure you get a say in who makes these decisions for you by contacting a lawyer at Berlin Law Offices, LLC to plan ahead.

Probate Litigation

Not every estate-planning attorney is capable of probating your will and trust. Some lawyers are strictly transactional, referring any will contests and probate issues out to another lawyer. We are an experienced litigation law firm, who will standup and fight for your interests during probate. Probate representation is usually a necessity in the following situations:

• Intestate administration
• Administration of wills
• Challenges to the validity of a will or trust because of incapacity, undue influence, or duress
• Allegations of wrongdoing by administrators, executors, and beneficiaries of an estate

Acting as Conservator of the Person and/or Estate, Berlin Law Offices, LLC also addresses sensitive topics regarding elder care or the maintenance of those who can no longer make their own decisions. It may be necessary to go to Probate Court to establish a conservatorship. Berlin Law Offices, LLC can represent your loved ones with strength, experience, and compassion.

To learn more about a will or trust, call Berlin Law Offices at 866-587-6215 or 860-398-4871, or fill out and submit the attached contact the firm form. You won't get lost with us.
