Brooks Wills & Estate Lawyers

Estate Planning
The experienced estate lawyers at Kurie Moore are passionate about helping you preserve your wealth for your chosen beneficiaries and helping you plan for your estate when you are gone. As they will explain to you in detail, the following documents form part of a robust and comprehensive estate plan:

  • Will
    Taking the time and effort to draft a Will that properly captures your wishes based on your specific circumstances is what our lawyers do by getting to know you and understanding what you want your legacy to be. We will help you choose the appropriate person to be your Estate’s Personal Representative and explain available options for you to distribute your Estate as you see fit. This could include creating a trust for minors or disabled loved ones, or determining how best to keep cherished holdings, such as a family cabin, within the family.
  • Power of Attorney
    While a Will takes effect the moment that you pass away, a Power of Attorney takes effect while you are still with us but no longer have capacity to make your own decisions. This incapacity could be short-term (for example, a coma) or long-term (eg. dementia). The Power of Attorney allows you to name a person whom you trust to manage your financial affairs and care for your loved ones during your incapacity.
  • Personal Directive
    Like the Power of Attorney, a Personal Directive comes into effect when a professional has determined that you do not have capacity to make your own decisions. The Personal Directive allows you to name someone to make personal decisions on your behalf, such as your medical care, where you live, and whom you associate with. You may choose to name the same person for both documents or you may choose different people – our knowledgeable lawyers will help guide you through those decisions.

Grant of Probate and Grant of Administration
When a loved one passes away, the last thing you may want to think about is dealing with their personal and financial matters. Booking a consultation with our skilled estate lawyers can give you some peace of mind in understanding what may be required of you and how you should proceed. We can explain what the legal requirements are regarding the deceased’s assets and debts and we can explore whether or not you must apply to the courts for a Grant of Probate or a Grant of Administration. If an application is required, the estate lawyers at Kurie Moore can make that application on your behalf and take care of the numerous steps which must be taken.

Estate Administration
Once a Grant of Probate or a Grant of Administration has been approved by the court, the work really begins. Now is the time to sell property, dispose of unwanted items, cancel services, close bank and investment accounts, ensure that the Estate’s taxes have been paid, correspond with beneficiaries, submit your accounts to the court, set up any testamentary trust, and distribute bequests or monies to beneficiaries. That can be a lot to take on when you are grieving your loved one. Adding all of these tasks that must be done in a timely manner can be overwhelming, especially with people’s already busy lives these days. Our firm can take many of those jobs off of your plate and, on your direction,

Let the capable Wills & Estate Lawyers at Kurie Moore Law Group handle the burden of dealing with estate processes and put your mind at ease.
