Wills, Trusts & Probate

At Sparkman · Shaffer · Perlick, we believe that everyone can benefit from planning that would preserve their property for their families and other beneficiaries, and that can ease the burdens that arise during life’s transitional times. Having appropriate arrangements in place can make things less stressful for loved ones during times of disability or death.

Basic estate planning includes a will, financial and medical powers of attorney, and trusts for minor children or beneficiaries with special needs. Those with larger estates or business interests can benefit from more extensive planning.

Some of the more sophisticated estate matters we frequently handle for clients include drafting and funding revocable and irrevocable trusts, generation skipping and other estate tax savings techniques, life insurance trusts, probate and trust administration.
