LEGAL EXPERTISE
Wills
A Will is potentially one of the most important legal documents you can create. Whether operating on its own, or in conjunction with a Trust, a properly drafted Will helps ensure your property is distributed according to your wishes, helps avoid confusion, and provides you the ability to appoint guardians for minor children. At Worrall Attorney at Law, we guide clients through every step of drafting a clear and enforceable Will. Whether you are searching for a lawyer for wills near you, or simply exploring your options, Worrall Law provides personal attention and reliable advice.
Writing a Living Will
In addition to a standard Will that addresses the distribution of property after your passing, many clients choose to prepare a living will. These two documents are not the same. A living will, also frequently drafted as part of a broader health care directive, allows you to specify your medical treatment preferences while you are alive in the event you are unable to communicate these wishes yourself. At Worrall Attorney at Law, we often combine Wills with other important estate planning documents, such as health care directives and powers of attorney, so your wishes are clear and your family has guidance during difficult times.
