Gainesville Estate Planning Lawyers

Serving Northeast Georgia

Estate planning services aren’t just for the wealthy. When it comes to protecting our wishes, both at the end of our lives and after death, a good estate plan can be valuable for everyone. A last will and testament is essential to make sure no confusion exists over who gets what. Setting up a trust offers the chance for tax advantages in the short-term and for one’s heirs to avoid probate in the long-term. Trusts can serve a variety of functions and Lanier Law Group has experience–not only in the legal area of drafting a trust, but in the financial planning that trusts often require. Estate planning goes beyond what happens to someone after death. It also involves communication of one’s last wishes and entrusting people with authority–the power of attorney–to act in the event of physical or mental incapacitation. A lawyer from this office is prepared to work with clients to make sure all important factors are considered in these decisions, including the drafting of an advanced medical directive where possible. Estate planning also serves an important role in protecting one’s children. That’s true in all cases, but especially when those children may suffer from a mental or physical disability. Parents of special needs children want to know their kids will be cared for and they also want to make sure their children don’t lose eligibility for the government benefits they are entitled to. Estate planning allows parents to address both concerns. Lanier Law Group focuses our practice on estate planning so our clients can be confident of our complete focus on the issues that matter to them.
