Nashville Estate Planning Attorney
If you own property and other assets, you have most likely taken steps to 1) acquirethem, 2) safeguardthem, and 3) assess your needs and the needs of your family to accurately manage your assets in the future.
There is a final step you need to take — you need a will, trust, or other estate planning document to protect your assets in the event of death or incapacity. Without this step, your past and future work can be negated by inheritance disputes, estate tax, probate costs and attorney's fees.
The Ewing Law Office, LLC can skillfully handle your vital estate planning. We draft wills for a reasonable fee, and lawyer Lisa Millican Ewing's financial background, enables us to handle complex, high-value estates as well as more common scenarios. Ms. Ewing's background and experience include:
- Former employment as a tax consultant
- A degree in accounting
- Founder, owner and manager of her own company, MedAccounts Inc.
Contact us for a free initial phone consultation regarding estate planning. We can:
- Draft wills, medical powers of attorney, physicians' directives and living wills.
- Create legal guardianships that allow you to arrange for the care of your children in the event of death or incapacity.
- Minimize estate taxes. Often, estate taxes are avoided when one spouse dies, but are then due when the second spouse dies. We can arrange your estate to bypass estate taxes.
- Litigate estate disputes between heirs.
- Work with opposite- and same-sex life partners, those couples in longtime and committed but non-marital relationships. Life partners face unique legal challenges when planning estates, including the arrangement of health and funeral care, guidance in creating wills, the creation of powers of attorney and joint adoption.
- Create a trust for your assets. By moving assets into a trust now, you retain control of the trust and the property held within it, but the ownership of the trust can pass easily to your beneficiaries upon your death, avoiding probate costs and delays.
- Create a trust for your pet, ensuring your pet will be cared for by the guardian you appoint, and providing funds for that care.
- Create conservatorships.
