It all starts when...

... people have children, or they get older, or, sadly, get sick...

Almost everyone will face legal issues that most of us are reluctant to think about. Illness, incapacity, and death are uncomfortable topics.

Planning ahead for your future and your family’s is an act of love, no matter how complex or how simple the estate is. Do you have a plan in place for what will happen if you cannot make medical decisions on your behalf? Have you thought about what will happen to your assets if you become incapacitated or if you pass away? 

Gerlach Law Firm brings an extraordinary level of personal service and care to every client.  We listen to each client’s needs and goals, and counsels them on estate planning techniques so they can develop a comprehensive plan for your future and your family’s.

  • Determining what issues affect your estate and what should be included in your comprehensive estate plan to best address your unique needs.
  • Drafting a last will and testament for distribution of your assets.
  • Creating a guardianship for someone who is incapacitated or under the age of majority.
  • Creating a living will, using a durable power of attorney to appoint an agent, and otherwise taking steps to ensure you have control over your future medical care and financial affairs and any decisions made on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
  • Determining if trusts should be established and what types of trusts are appropriate. Perhaps you need a trust to avoid probate, or to protect a disabled child, or to ensure a spendthrift child does not squander his inheritance.
