Estate Planning, Probate Administration, Wills, Trusts
No individual or family is alike, and so getting to know each individual, and their family, is one of the first things we do as an Ohio estate planning and probate administration law firm.  We get to know our clients and how they think, and then take a complete inventory of every asset and liability. During our content gathering interview, we’ll determine the wishes of the primary estate holder, and review the family situation including children, grandchildren, siblings and, in the case of a family business, the key employees, banks, financial consultants and investment advisors. At our law office, we feel that not only is it important for us to have our client have a comfortable resolution as to what they’d like to take place, but it is also beneficial to have the extended family members an understanding of what will happen.  Our law firm will help our clients put a plan in place with all of the proper paperwork, and then review the plan so that it is up to date as events change.  The legal services our law firm provides to individuals and their families includes the following:

Conservatorships
