Wills lawyers serving Hampton Roads including Chesapeake, Gloucester

Will, trust, and estate laws deal with the passing of property, assets and possessions of a person to his or her heirs upon death. A death in the family is always a painful and difficult time. It is therefore imperative that at the time of a death these matters have already been handled.

When preparing your will, our attorneys discuss your wishes with you, at length, to ensure that your intended heirs get exactly what you wish to leave them, and avoid any delay in distribution. Our asset protection lawyers review your personal and business situation and help you decide if any legal complications might arise during the probate process.  If complications are predicted, our team of lawyers develop a plan to help avoid issues through estate planning, especially in the case of business owners. Estate planning ensures that as many assets as possible pass directly, and immediately, to the intended heirs. One option of estate planning is the setting up of trusts.

Trusts may be able to —

  • Reduce estate taxes
  • Protect the assets from creditors of the beneficiaries
  • Ensure proper investment and management of assets
  • Reduce income taxes under certain circumstances

There are many types of trusts available, such as —

  • Living Trusts
  • Dynasty Trusts
  • Life Insurance Trusts

In addition to answering questions about wills, the experienced attorneys of Hunter Law Firm help you decide what would be the best plan for you, set it up and administer it. We can also represent the trustees appointed by you or serve as trustees ourselves. Additionally, we can help you set up a trust or LLC to protect your assets and secure your family’s future.

A Newport News trusts lawyer at our firm can also draft other end-of-life documents, such as advance medical directives and durable powers of attorney.
