Wills, Trusts, and Estates

Compassion and understanding are a must

Wills, trusts, and estates law deals with the passing of property, assets, and possessions of a person to his or her heirs, prior to, or upon, the death of the person.  When dealing with the legal areas of wills, trusts, and estates, you can benefit from working with an experienced and compassionate attorney who listens to you and understands your personal needs.

When preparing your will, the attorneys of Harrod & Harrod discuss your wishes with you to ensure that your intended heirs get exactly what you wish to leave them and avoid any delay in distribution.  We review your personal and business situation and help you determine if legal complications that may arise during the probate process can be avoided through estate planning.  This is especially true in the case of business owners, in terms of to whom, or how, the business will be distributed.  Estate planning ensures that as many assets as possible pass directly to the intended heirs.

One estate planning option is setting up trusts that can reduce estate taxes, protect the assets from creditors of the beneficiaries, ensure proper investment and management of assets, and reduce income taxes under certain circumstances.  There are many types of trusts available, such as living trusts, dynasty trusts, and life insurance trusts.  The experienced attorneys of Harrod & Harrod can help you decide what would be the best plan for you, set it up, and administer it.  We can represent the trustees appointed by you or we can serve as the trustee.
