Athens Estate Planning Services

Preparing your family for a future without you can give you peace of mind and help to protect your assets from heavy taxation. We work hard to help families feel comfortable discussing estate planning topics and work together to draft helpful legal documents to accomplish your goals. One does not have to be wealthy to need an estate plan. You only need to be a person with assets and interests to protect. Estate planning allows you to take care of future issues that could prevent or complicate the transition of your assets to your heirs. 

Our Athens family law attorneys provide several estate planning tools, such as:

• Wills: A will is the foundational document of your estate plan, and it covers important issues regarding your assets, like who will inherit your property, serve as guardian to any minor children, and who will serve as your executor. 
• Trusts: Trusts, like wills, outline the transfer of assets after your death, but trusts are private and more customizable than a will. Trusts are also preferable for some individuals because they are not subject to probate. 
• Advance Directives for Health Care: The goal of a good estate plan is that it answers questions you cannot because you are deceased or incapacitated. Tools like advance medical directives allow individuals to speak on their behalf about medical procedures and treatments that may be performed while incapacitated. 
• Powers of Attorney: An agent that acts on your behalf based on predetermined triggering events. A power of attorney can be applied in your absence or incapacity. The individual giving away their agency would decide the conditions that would trigger the document and what decisions can be made on their behalf.

At Mitchell & Crunk Law Firm, our attorneys can help you draft a will that meets the needs of your situation, and if you aren’t familiar with the other documents in an estate plan, we can any questions you may have and help you get started planning today. We’re confident our experienced team of attorneys can help you create an end-of-life plan that meets your specifications.
