Estate Planning Makes The Difference

The attorneys at Michael Overmann, Ltd., have experience with all aspects of estate planning and probate litigation. We can assist you with the following areas:

Planning your estate — This is an important process that allows you to transfer assets to heirs, manage funds for beneficiaries and protect yourself if you become incapacitated.
Do-it-yourself wills — Why do you need an attorney? Do-it-yourself wills often lead to mistakes that make them invalid.
Drafting wills — You can transfer assets and property as well as name guardians for your children with a will.
Creating trusts — Creating a trust avoids much of the time and expense of probate.
Special needs trusts — Set up funds to care for a developmentally disabled child or adult.
Drafting powers of attorney — You can draft powers of attorney for property and for health care. We can also create a living will.
Probate assistance — All estates pass through the probate process, which gives people a chance to challenge the estate.
Settlement of trusts and estates — We can assist your family with administration of a loved one’s estate.
Contests of wills and trusts — People challenge will and trusts when they believe funds have been misappropriated or undue influence was used on the decedent.
Asset recovery — We can help you stop misappropriation of assets from an estate.
Claims against estates — Surviving spouses, children and statutory custodial caretakers can make claims against an estate.
