Estate Planning, Wills, and Probate

While it is natural to avoid thinking about the time of your passing, planning for that time is one of the most loving things you can do for your family.  You worked hard all your life to build assets for your future and with careful and thoughtful legal planning, your remaining assets can be passed on to your children and grandchildren with as minimal tax implications as possible.

Our estate planning attorney, Jennifer Lawther, can help you with your estate planning, including—

  • Wills
  • Trusts
  • Powers of attorney
  • Living will (also known as a durable power of attorney over health care)

Probate

When someone dies in Ohio or has property in Ohio, contact attorney Jennifer Lawther to determine what steps need to be taken to pass the decedent's property to his or her heirs.   Each case is fact-specific and may or may not require the probate court's intervention.

Guardianship

When a loved one is incompetent or a minor, a legal guardian may be necessary to make decisions about that person's health, education, and welfare.  Jennifer Lawther can petition the court to make you that guardian.
