Experienced Trust & Wills Attorney

We assist clients with a wide range of estate planning issues, including the following:

Trusts: Protecting Your Legacy and Bypassing Probate

A trust is a powerful legal arrangement that allows a third party (a trustee) to hold and manage assets on behalf of your beneficiaries. While a will only takes effect after you pass away, a trust can be utilized to manage your affairs both during your lifetime and after.

Wills: Defining Your Wishes and Ensuring Family Security

A Last Will and Testament is a foundational legal document that outlines exactly how you want your assets distributed and who should care for your minor children after you pass away. Without a clear, legally binding will, West Virginia state laws—rather than your own wishes—decide the future of your estate.

Living Wills and Powers of Attorney

While wills and trusts focus on what happens after you pass away, incapacity planning ensures you are protected while you are still alive. If a sudden illness or accident leaves you unable to communicate, these documents speak for you, ensuring your medical and financial preferences are honored.
