Many mistakenly think that estate planning is only for the wealthy. However, many families can benefit from setting up a trust and everyone needs to have a will and other estate planning documents in place to ensure their legacy is protected.
Wills
Trusts
We can also review a trust that has already been created and help you update it and administer the trust to beneficiaries when needed. We can help you to decide between an irrevocable trust and a revocable trust. An irrevocable trust allows you to transfer ownership of assets on a permanent basis. An irrevocable trust helps to protect assets from your creditors and avoid certain taxes and the probate process entirely upon death.

A mechanic’s lien is a document that guarantees payment for contract services or improvement services on a piece of property. If a bill is left unpaid, a contractor can sign a mechanic’s lien which will ensure payment. A mechanic’s lien gives incentive to the property owner to pay the contractor and is a prerequisite for a foreclosure filing. By placing a mechanic’s lien on a property, the encumbrance makes it difficult for the property owner to sell or re-finance the property without first paying the lien.
