Wills
A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets should be distributed after you pass away. It also allows you to name guardians for minor children or dependents who may need care after your death.
At Schultz Law, we help our clients draft clear and concise wills that accurately reflect their wishes regarding asset distribution. Our attorneys ensure that all necessary legal requirements are met so that our clients' wishes are carried out as intended.
Trusts
A trust is another important tool used in estate planning which allows individuals to transfer assets into a separate entity managed by a trustee on behalf of beneficiaries named in the trust agreement.
Our attorneys at Schultz Law have extensive experience in creating various types of trusts such as revocable living trusts or irrevocable trusts depending on our client's specific needs. We work closely with our clients throughout the process ensuring they understand how each type works so they can make informed decisions about which type best suits their needs.

Our attorneys work closely with trustees to ensure that all legal requirements are met and beneficiaries receive their rightful share of assets. We also provide guidance on tax implications related to trust administration.
Probate
Probate is the legal process of administering an estate after someone passes away. It involves validating a will, identifying and valuing assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing remaining assets according to the will or state law if there is no will.
