Kenansville Estate Planning Lawyer

Having an estate plan can protect your loved one’s futures upon your death. An estate plan will consist of several documents used to plan for life’s uncertainties. If you do not have an estate plan in place, you should consider contacting our office to prevent issues for your family at the time of your death.

Attorney Justin B. Hunter has years of experience creating estate plans. Whether the estate plan be a simple will or something more complicated, such as a trust, The Law Offices of Justin B. Hunter can help you.

Here is a list of the trust and estate administration and planning matters our office handle:

• Last Will and Testament: This is a legal document that directs your assets at your death.
• Durable Power of Attorney: This legal document names an agent who will make your legal and financial decisions should you become incapacitated.
• Health Care Power of Attorney: This legal document will name an agent who will make your health care decisions should you become incapacitated.
• Living Will: This legal document addresses your end-of-life decisions.
• HIPAA Authorization: This document will authorize medical providers to share your medical records and information with your family and friends, should you choose to do so.

Having a last will and testament in place is just the starting point to ensuring your assets are properly distributed upon your death. Many decisions will have to be made and legally documented; having this done prior to your death will save your loved ones from uncertainty over your wishes.

Your will does have a limited scope. There are other documents that should be in place, including a living will, a power of attorney, and a health care power of attorney. Amongst other things, these documents decide what medical care you will receive should you become extremely ill or unconscious and who will make decisions about that medical care if you are unable to do so.

If you are healthy, you are not thinking about these documents or decisions because they are not top of mind. Or you may not be thinking about them because it is too stressful worrying about the unknowns. When you work with The Law Office of Justin B. Hunter, you will receive compassionate guidance to help you put the proper legal documents in place. Justin will be there to answer your questions and help you prepare for unforeseeable situations.

Our office will create an estate plan that meets your needs, ensuring an appropriate disposition of your assets and the orderly and cost-effective administration of the estate. He can also assist you with a plan for the transition of a family-owned business from one generation to another, as well as lifetime gifting.

Avoid online do-it-yourself products. They often lead to errors, litigation, and additional burdens placed on your family members. Contact the Law Office of Justin B. Hunter today to schedule a free consultation with a Kenansville estate planning lawyer.
