Estate Planning Attorney

Estate planning involves deciding on your assets and financial matters after you pass away. Without an estate plan, your loved ones may face unexpected tax bills, probate costs, and legal issues.

At Gillmore & Wilson, LLC in Newton, Kansas, we provide comprehensive estate planning services to help you make sure your final wishes are carried out. Our attorneys have more than 40 years of legal experience and understand that it's essential for you to make sure that your family is provided for.

Initial Meeting

When you meet with the experienced estate planning attorneys at Gillmore & Wilson, LLC, we will discuss what you want to accomplish with an estate plan. We may ask questions like:

●       Who are your beneficiaries?

●       Do they know that they will inherit from you?

●       How sizable is your estate, and how do you want it distributed when you pass away?

●       What kind of assets do you have (such as real estate or investments)?

Document Drafting

After we have worked with you to assess your estate planning goals, we will begin drafting necessary plan documents such as will, trust, and power of attorney documents. We will ensure that the documents are tailored to your specific needs and are legally sound according to Kansas requirements.

Last Will

A last will is the most common estate planning document. It allows you to specify how your assets will be distributed when you die. If there are any special considerations, we can also work those details into your will.

Trusts

A trust is an arrangement that allows you to manage your assets while you're living and specify who will inherit them when you die. Types of trusts include revocable, irrevocable, and charitable. We'll help you determine which one best suits your needs.

Help to Avoid Probate

Probate is a legal process through which your estate is passed on to your heirs. It's often expensive, time-consuming, and requires a court order. We can help your loved ones avoid probate by setting up a trust or other legal arrangement to allow you to manage your assets during your lifetime.

Asset Protection

You may be concerned about safeguarding your assets, especially if you have a high net worth. We can help protect your assets from lawsuits, creditors, excessive taxation, and other threats through asset protection strategies, including trusts and insurance products.
