Wills and Trusts

We believe that all people—young or old, with few assets or a large estate—should have a legal will. We take the time to explore your goals for retirement and how your assets should be distributed at death, and help clients anticipate contingencies. In drafting your will, we include:

• Power of attorney for financial and personal matters
• Living wills appointing a health care surrogate and including a HIPAA release of medical records to family members

We can draft "pour-over" wills that transfer assets into a trust at the time of your death to minimize the expense, delays, and estate taxes for survivors in probate administration. Ms. Greenwood and her longtime estate planning paralegal, Linda McDermott, match your needs and goals with the appropriate type of trust, such as irrevocable living trusts, special needs trusts and guardianships to provide for a family member, or a charitable trust to protect your assets and to leave a portion of your estate to a favorite cause.
