Estate Planning and Probate

Estate planning involves drafting legal documents to provide for distribution of your estate after your passing.  Probate, on the other hand, is a court-supervised process for handling the estate and assets after a person passes away.  The firm’s estate planning practice includes the preparation of wills and trusts, as well as administering estates after death.  Our extensive experience allows us to provide guidance and protection for you and your family to structure your estate plan in a manner most beneficial to you and your family.  When you call our office about estate planning or probate, you will most likely speak first with Barbara Baker, a legal assistant with more than 35 years of experience.  Barbara will walk you through the documents you need to bring with you to your first appointment, and she will assist you in setting up an initial appointment with either Dan Crow or Jennifer Martin Smith, both of whom are experienced in assisting individuals and families with these important decisions.
