Yes, you still need a “pour-over will” even with a living trust. This will captures any assets that weren’t transferred to the trust and directs them into the trust upon your death. It also allows you to name guardians for minor children and handle other important matters that a trust cannot address.
A revocable living trust can be changed or revoked during your lifetime, allowing you to maintain control over your assets. An irrevocable trust cannot be easily changed once established, but it offers greater asset protection and potential tax benefits. We help you determine which type best fits your goals.
Review your estate plan every 3-5 years or after major life events such as marriage, divorce, birth of children, significant changes in assets, or moving to a new state. We recommend regular check-ins to ensure your plan remains current and effective.
FSBO transactions require purchase agreements, property disclosures, deed preparation, title work coordination, and closing documents. We provide comprehensive legal support to ensure all paperwork is properly prepared and your interests are protected throughout the transaction.
A contract for deed (also called land contract) is a seller-financing arrangement where the buyer makes payments directly to the seller over time, and the deed transfers only after full payment. We draft these agreements to protect both parties and ensure compliance with state regulations.
Even “simple” real estate transactions involve significant legal and financial risks. Having legal representation ensures proper contract review, title examination, and protection against potential issues that could cost thousands later. Our services often pay for themselves by preventing problems.
An Offer in Compromise allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed if you meet specific IRS criteria regarding financial hardship, doubt as to liability, or effective tax administration. We evaluate your situation and negotiate with the IRS on your behalf.
While there’s no deadline to file past-due returns, delaying increases penalties and interest. For tax years where you’re owed a refund, you have only 3 years to claim it. We help prepare all unfiled returns and negotiate penalty reductions when possible.
Yes, we can often halt collection actions by negotiating installment agreements, offers in compromise, or demonstrating financial hardship. Acting quickly is crucial, so contact us immediately if you receive collection notices.
Chapter 7 is a “liquidation” bankruptcy that discharges most debts in 3-4 months but may require selling non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 is a “reorganization” that allows you to keep your property while paying creditors through a 3-5 year payment plan. We analyze your situation to recommend the best option.
Not necessarily. Both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 have exemptions that protect essential assets like your primary residence and vehicle up to certain equity limits. We work to maximize exemptions and protect your important property.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years, while Chapter 13 stays for 7 years. However, many clients see credit score improvements within 1-2 years after discharge as their debt-to-income ratio improves significantly.
The choice depends on your business goals, tax situation, and liability concerns. LLCs offer operational flexibility and pass-through taxation, while corporations provide more structure and potential tax advantages. We analyze your specific needs to recommend the best entity type.
A comprehensive business purchase agreement should cover purchase price and payment terms, asset descriptions, liability allocations, employee matters, non-compete clauses, representations and warranties, and closing conditions. We ensure all critical elements are properly addressed.
Probate duration varies significantly based on estate complexity, state requirements, and potential disputes. Simple estates may take 6-12 months, while complex estates can take 2+ years. We offer both formal and informal probate options to expedite the process when possible and keep families informed throughout.
