Securing your legacy
We know you work hard for your family and continued growth of your assets, so knowing that you have helped them with financial security can certainly bring you comfort.  We thoroughly analyze your holdings and strategize the best means estate plan to meet your goals, whether that be transferring your assets, minimizing taxes, avoiding probate and estate administration, establishing guardianship for your children and securing a financial safety net for them, caring for your pets, or supporting philanthropic causes.

Draft your Last Will or Revocable Trust
Your last will provides the opportunity to distribute your property, establish care for your children and otherwise express your wishes upon your death. A Will is necessary if you intend to leave property to somebody besides a blood relative, such as a domestic partner, a friend or a charity. If you die without a Will, the court determines how your property is distributed, who cares for your children and even what happens to your beloved pet — making decisions that might not reflect your desires. Glynn Law Offices can draft a valid Will that ensures your intentions are honored. For a more secure plan during your lifetime, we also may suggest the creation of a revocable Trust, which can provide added estate planning benefits for trust assets, including probate avoidance and estate tax savings for married couples. Glynn Law Offices provides counsel with respect to trust funding, and is also available to prepare Quitclaim Deeds to transfer real estate into your Trusts.

Changing your Estate Plan
As your life changes, so might your estate plan. You may need to update your Will or Trust throughout your life. Glynn Law Offices drafts valid codicils and Trust Amendments that address changes in your financial situation, marital status, number of children, philanthropic interests and general lifestyle decisions.

Appointment of Guardianship
If you have minor children, your Will allows you to make decisions about their future care. This is especially crucial if you are a single parent or if both parents die in a common incident. If you do not name a guardian, the court will appoint a guardian for your children and may make decisions adverse to your ultimate parenting goals. You can also make arrangements for your pets’ care in your will, including naming a guardian to take responsibility for your pets.

Designating Beneficiaries
Our attorneys are familiar with many of our local financial institutions and banking centers. We routinely review Assets and holdings with our clients to ensure beneficiary designations on your accounts, life insurance policies and retirement plans are up to date. We are available to work with you or your financial advisors to update any beneficiary designations to ensure they reflect your estate planning wishes.
