With so many tasks that need to be completed every day, it can be difficult to plan for the future. However, planning your estate can be a priceless gift for your loved ones and will let you rest easy knowing the future is taken care of, your assets are protected and your wishes will be honored.
A thoughtful estate plan will also include health care directives and powers of attorney that can be used in the event you cannot make your own decisions.
“Joyce is an attentive and knowledgeable attorney. She assisted our family in clearing up some deed and title issues when my grandmother passed away. She was thorough in her explanations and patient as she walked us through everything we need to do step by step. Communicating with 4 remaining heirs was a challenge, for sure, but she handled it gracefully. I would highly recommend Joyce for your legal needs.”
