I, James Krupka, can assist my clients in resolving even the most complex estate matters, and avoiding probate problems through ensuring all documentation is correctly drafted.  My boutique firm is dedicated to assisting my clients on a one-on-one basis to create an estate plan that achieves their goals and wishes for their heirs.  I can assist with any of the following types of estate planning matters including:

Many individuals hope to avoid probate through a living trust.  How the estate plan and living trust is structured is of vital concern, as any missing aspect can allow the government to step in and participate in the distribution of your estate, which can result in loss of certain assets and difficult legal problems for your family.  My approach is to determine what your specific estate planning goals and wishes are, and then to advise you how your goals can be achieved.  I have a thorough understanding of all aspects of estate planning, taxation issues and trusts, and will lay out a structure to protect your assets as much as can be achieved under law.
