The probate process—we provide comprehensive and efficient representation

We work on the legal details, so our clients can concentrate on taking care of themselves and their family.  We give our clients compassionate service and skilled representation regardless of the value of the estate or the complexity or simplicity of the issues.

Ammeen & Associates, P.C. provides comprehensive legal services throughout the process of probate including—

• Assistance with the Distribution of Assets
• Payment of Estate Debts
• Tax Issues
• Dispute Resolution
• Notice to Creditors
• Filing of Required Documents with the Probate Court

We also can help with any disputes that arise during the process or, separately, represent persons who think they have a claim for a portion of the probate estate that is not being adequately handled by the personal representative of the estate. 

Estate planning—more than wills and trusts

Preparing for the possibility of your incapacity during life and the inevitability of your death is a responsible act of love.  When people think of estate planning, they often just think of wills, trusts, and other documents designed to transfer assets after death.

Comprehensive estate planning also incorporates both end-of-life planning and medical planning for unexpected accidents or medical incapacity.  Let us help you through this process of planning your estate and assisting your loved ones.  We also are able to advise and assist in determining whether you can transfer your assets without going through probate administration and the court upon death.

We work closely with you to make sure that our wills, powers of attorney, and other estate planning instruments accurately and reliably reflect your goals for both your estate and family.  We take time to explain the legal and personal significance of each of these instruments, and give you all the information you need about the significance of every decision you make.  We work to make sure that your intentions are accurately reflected in each properly witnessed and executed document.

We use a wide range of estate planning tools to define your wishes regarding property and medical planning.  Some of the tools offered to you are:

• Family Limited Partnerships
• Marital Property Agreements or Postnuptial Agreements
• Wills
• Living Wills
• Living Trusts
• Powers of Attorney (medical, durable, and do not resuscitate (DNR))
• Life Insurance Trusts
• Special Needs Trusts
