Quad Cities Estate Planning Lawyer

Estate Planning Services We Provide in the Quad Cities

Our Rock Island estate planning attorney can assist you with:

Trusts. A revocable living trust is similar to a will and can be used to quickly transfer assets to heirs. Property placed in trusts is not subject to probate and thus skips the process entirely. Irrevocable trusts cannot be changed once implemented but are used for other purposes, such as limiting the impact of estate taxes.
Powers of Attorney. To prepare for the possibility of incapacity, you should consider using a power of attorney document to authorize another person to act on your behalf. You can dictate that your agent’s powers will only activate should you become unable to communicate, and you determine the scope of their abilities.
Advance Directives. If you have specific preferences for the types of medical care you wish to receive or not receive in the event you become incapacitated, you can define them in your advance directive. Your agent with powers of attorney will typically rely on the instructions in your advance directive to advocate for you.
