Wills.

Conley Law LLC has written and reviewed dozens of wills for clients of all incomes and backgrounds. Unlike some family law matters, writing a will can be a positive experience for you and your family by making your wishes known to your loved ones.

The planning and discussion when you prepare a will and other related documents can help reduce stress and anxiety for everyone involved. It is especially helpful for others to know your wishes if there is some type of emergency. Additionally, creating a clear will allows you to choose a person to act on your behalf and settle your affairs, decide when beneficiaries will receive your assets, and select a guardian for your children. If you die without a valid will, state law controls the distribution of your estate.  Probate, the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person, will resolve all claims and distribute property and assets but can take much longer and can be very costly and time-consuming if there is no will.

Although drafting a will can be handled without a lawyer if a person’s affairs are very simple, it is recommended that a will at least be reviewed by a licensed attorney. Conley Law LLC services range from simple review and advice to complex will with trust provisions. Fees for wills are often a flat fee, with no additional charges. Conley Law LLC recommends you review your will about every five years or if a change in circumstances warrants it.
