No one really wants to think about what will happen after we pass on and yet we want to make sure that our loved ones are looked after at the same time. Estate planning can be a daunting task to think about and can, depending on the size of your estate and the number of beneficiaries, get quite complex. No matter the size of your estate, it is important that you prepare for your family’s future by specifying your wishes for the disposition of your property and the guardianship of your minor children. Our attorneys regularly advise clients in everything from simple estate plans to complex estate plans for high-net-worth individuals. A great estate planning attorney will guide you every step of the way by advising you on everything from your last will and testament, powers of attorney, end of life planning, trust planning, probate avoidance, charitable planning, including the use of family foundations, charitable remainder or lead trusts and other planning techniques designed to maximize tax benefit to trust administration and estate administration.

At Robertson & Williams, we know that everyone’s situation is unique and believe that the personal attention and expertise of an estate planning lawyer can provide relief in a potentially overwhelming situation.

What is Estate Planning?


Estate planning is the making of a legal plan to ensure that your hard-earned assets and properties are transferred to the people you want upon your death while ensuring that the value of your estate is preserved during your lifetime, and taxes minimized. An estate planning attorney will help you put together the legal documents needed to make sure your wishes are followed when it comes to matters like:

  • Assigning a guardian for your minor children and their inheritance
  • Assigning powers of attorney for your health care and financial affairs in case you are incapacitated in any way
  • Planning for the end of life decisions through your advanced directive or living will
  • Establishing trusts, living trusts, or charitable giving

Remember, no matter how big or small your estate is, you have choices in how your assets are handled.

Estate planning is not as expensive as you think!

You may find DIY guides to estate planning online. However, it’s important to remember that laws change constantly. If you don’t stay on top of your game, it can cost you or your family more in the long run than simply consulting an attorney in the first place. One of the many advantages of estate planning can be avoiding probate. Completing forms online may be free at first but if not done properly, you may end up needing to go through probate. A law office practicing in estate planning can ensure that your documents are up-to-date, and you are not losing out on decades of experience that will benefit you. At Robertson & Williams, our experienced estate planning attorneys keep your estate plans current and comprehensive to give you the peace of mind that your loved ones will be taken care of.

Probate matters

Sometimes assets can be distributed through faster and less time-consuming methods. The probate process can also be avoided with proper estate planning. Whether you are needing a plan for your family’s legacy through estate planning or needing to distribute a loved one’s assets through probate, R&W attorneys are ready to meet you where you are.
