Athens, Georgia Estate Planning, Probate, Elder Law and Special Needs

We have over fourteen years of experience helping clients navigate the most difficult legal areas, including probate and Medicaid eligibility.

We devote our entire practice to those legal areas most critical to the prosperity, well being, and stability of your family. Through comprehensive estate planning, we help you prepare for the future and ensure your loved ones enjoy the life you envision.  As our clients age, we pay particular attention to the issues faced by seniors, including the financial liability posed by long-term care costs and (when necessary) planning for Medicaid coverage. We also help establish Special Needs Trusts to enhance the lives of your disabled loved ones and preserve their eligibility for public benefits. When the time comes to implement your plans, we guide your loved ones through every step of the way, including probate and trust administration.

Estate Planning

  Absolutely every adult, regardless of their age or wealth, needs to address their estate plan. We help guide you through the process of getting your plans in order, including exploring your options for avoiding probate (such as a Revocable Living Trust). Whichever options you choose, you need to start on your estate plan as soon as possible. Learn More →

Special Needs Trusts

 Planning for your disabled loved ones requires the right tools. Special Needs Trusts provide a powerful planning option that can preserve your loved one’s eligibility for public benefits, provide a structure for their ongoing care, and also enhance their life in other ways. Special Needs Trusts can be incorporated into any type of estate plan. Learn More →

Probate Matters

 When loved ones pass away, one issue you have to address is the disposition of their property. This process can range from fairly straitforward to extremely difficult depending upon the plans your loved one made. You should always consult with a qualified probate attorney before taking any actions to administer a loved one’s estate. Learn More →

Our Planning Advantage

 We don't just create your estate plans. We ensure your plans stay up-to-date and, when the time comes, get carried out smoothly. In order to accomplish these goals, we include free services that most other attorneys don't provide or (when they do) charge extra for. Learn more about our planning advantage→

Free Online Planning Portal

 We provide you with an online portal where you can store your estate planning documents behind 256-bit bank-grade security. Feel free to store any other important documents in your portal (such as financial statements or insurance binders) because we give you unlimited storage. We also use this portal to introduce other helpful resources and communicate with you securely.

Free Estate Planning Reviews

 When you experience major life changes you need to review your estate plan to make sure it continues to meet your objectives. You can always reach out to us and discuss the need for updating your plans without worrying about being charged. We’ll also contact you on an annual basis to see if you have any questions or concerns about your plans.

Free DocuBank Enrollment

 In a medical emergency, if you’re unable to communicate with your healthcare providers they need to know immediately who has the authority to make decisions on your behalf. DocuBank makes this possible by storing your healthcare planning documents in its secure cloud where they can be accessed 24/7. We provide you with a one-year DocuBank enrollment at no charge, and you can continue your DocuBank subscription through our office at a significant discount.
