Recent changes in wills and estate planning have signaled exciting things in this ever-evolving area of law. For example, Alabama was among the pioneers in allowing remote witnessing of wills, eliminating unnecessary travel and expense. At Safehaven Legal, it is a point of pride that our suite of estate planning documents are updated within 24 hours when there is a significant change in the statutes.

We can capably address your goals and concerns regarding:

• Estate planning and succession — Creating a customized will, powers of attorney and advance health care directive (living will) that put your wishes in writing
• Trusts and asset protection strategies — Employing various types of trusts in conjunction with your estate plan to accomplish specific goals and preserve family assets
• Guardianship and conservatorship — Petitioning the court to take over a family member’s personal care and/or finances

Our estate planning and probate attorneys deal with these matters on a daily basis, but we understand it can be confusing or overwhelming for you. We will educate you and walk your through the process so that you have peace of mind that your affairs are in order and your hard-earned assets are protected as much as possible.

A great estate plan is much more than just techniques for avoiding certain taxes. It’s a set of tools that contemplates the issues that arise with specific heirs, assets and objectives, as well as addressing issues of aging, infirmity, incompetency, second marriages, unmarried couples, charitable giving, asset protection, mixed cultural family issues and more.
