Wills

Most folks don’t know that without a will, the state decides how a person’s assets are distributed at death. A will is an easy way to ensure those decisions are yours alone.

Most people don’t need a complex estate plan with dozens of documents. At Cline Law Group, we won’t try to upsell you if a simple will is all you need.

Still, for many, the thought of creating a will is daunting. It’s something they want to deal with when they ‘get older.’ However, our clients know that creating a will is an opportunity to protect your loved ones right now. We make the process easy and affordable, so our clients can rest assured.

Trusts

Unlike a will which doesn’t take effect until a person’s death, a trust can protect your assets during your life. Trusts can lower tax burdens, protect assets from creditors, and transfer wealth to loved ones without the hassle of going through a probate court.

If you own a business, rental properties, a vacation home, or any other significant assets, a trust may be the best option for you.

A trust must be carefully crafted to meet a client’s unique needs. Our experienced attorneys can help you decide whether a trust should be a part of your estate plan.

Other Documents

An estate plan isn’t just comprised of wills and trusts. From deciding who can sign a contract on your behalf or make decisions for your kids when you’re out of the country (Power of Attorney) to who can access your medical records (HIPAA Authorization) or make medical decisions for you if you become unconscious or incapacitated (Healthcare Directive), our attorneys can help you create a complete estate plan that ensures all your decisions are respected.

Whether your need is short-term or long-term, let us help you stay prepared:

  • HIPPA Authorization

  • General Durable Power of Attorney

  • Assignments

  • Healthcare Power of Attorney

  • Living Will
