Estate Planning (Living Trusts, Wills, and Powers of Attorney)

    At Rivertown Law Group we believe every individual, regardless of the value of his or her assets, needs certain basic estate planning documents.  A Will, Durable Power of Attorney, Living Will and a Healthcare Power of Attorney, for property management in the event of disability or old age and for health care matters, are basic musts.  However, the needs and opportunities for planning may go far beyond the basics; coordination of insurance and employee benefits, education funding for children and grandchildren, just to name a few. Start planning today for the future.

 

Conservatorship/Guardianships

     A conservatorship is a court proceeding to appoint a manager for the financial affairs or the personal care of a person who is either physically or mentally unable to handle either or both. When Might a Conservatorship be Needed?

·         When you know a person who needs someone to protect them from neglect, financial abuse and isolation;

·         When an individual has no family and is not able to completely manage their own affairs;

·         When an individual has family and wishes not to burden them regarding assistance;

·         When relatives/friends are busy with their own lives and need assistance for the care of a loved one.
