Estate Services
A will is one of the most important of all legal documents. It is the legal declaration of a person’s intentions and desires that he directs to be carried out after his death. By making a will you can specify how you want your property distributed after your death; you can name a personal representative who has the responsibility to collect assets, pay bills and distribute your estate according to the terms of your will; you can make charitable bequests; and you can nominate someone in whom you have confidence to be a guardian of your minor children. Without a will, the intestate laws of the State of Maryland direct the order of priority for those individuals to serve as personal representative of the estate; what heirs are entitled to receive the assets of the estate; and in some instances the Orphans’ Court shall make the appointment of a guardian for your minor children.
But successful, competent estate planning is more than just the preparation of a will. While helping you organize and execute your last will and testament, I can also make sure all dependents are treated fairly, and all business/financial matters resolved.
