Rockville and Columbia trusts and wills law firm uses our years of experience, proven skills and your valuable input to address the unique needs of individuals, families, and businesses in practice areas such as:

• Wills: We can assist you in drafting the most fundamental document in your estate plan: your will. Before you pass, we can ensure that your wishes and goals are accurately reflected in this document.
• Living wills and powers of attorney: If you become mentally incapacitated, a living will and power of attorney can state your medical, health care and financial requests, as well as who you would like to help carry them out. We can help you get the appropriate documentation so that the right person can fulfill your requests.
• Trusts: Sometimes, you may need to include a trust in your estate plan. We can help you determine if you need trust, and if so, which type best fits your needs and situation.
• Special/Supplemental Needs Trust: If you have a vulnerable loved one in your family who will need specialized care after you pass, a special needs trust can help ensure they get the care they need long after you’re gone. We can help you set up a special needs trust and address any potential questions or concerns you might have.

We can facilitate these transactions to ensure everyone complies with the rules when administering the trust.
• Emergency planning: No one wants the worst-case scenario to happen. However, planning for the worst can ease the burden on anyone you are responsible for. We can help you factor in these emergency scenarios and put the appropriate safeguards in place to protect your loved ones.
