Estate Planning Solutions

Real life can be complicated. The attorneys at Mette, Evans & Woodside recognize that each family’s estate plan must be tailored to meet their unique needs. Our attorneys take the time to understand our clients’ circumstances and, using estate planning tools, carefully design a plan that will help maximize asset protection and minimize tax obligations in the long term.

We can address any number of legal issues related to your estate or trust, including succession planning, wills and living wills, power of attorney, and charitable and educational trusts. Our attorneys have extensive tax-related backgrounds and can create trusts and plans that consider tax implications.

Planning for Children & Older Adults

Several legal issues can impact children and older adults during estate planning. The attorneys at Mette, Evans & Woodside are fully equipped to provide legal services to establish guardianship, Medicaid, long-term care planning, and special needs planning.

Long Term Care Planning

Medicaid and long-term care are issues that arise for older adults. The attorneys at Mette, Evans, and Woodside can assist seniors and their families with long-term care planning, including whether Medicaid eligibility may be an option.

Guardianship

Guardianship may be necessary for a child or an adult family member. Family members can petition the court to name a guardian in situations where an adult is not capable of making decisions or when a child with disabilities reaches adulthood. Whether permanent or temporary, guardianship establishes an individual who is given the legal authority to act on behalf of another person. Guardians are responsible for day-to-day living issues, expenses, and health care.

Special Needs Trusts

When caring for someone with special needs, it can be disconcerting to consider how they will be taken care of when you are no longer able to. Establishing a special needs trust can relieve that burden of worry. The attorneys at Mette, Evans & Woodside can assist with setting up a special needs trust that allows government benefit eligibility to be preserved while providing assets to meet the financial needs of the trustee.
