Practice Areas

Estate Planning

The specific issues an estate planning attorney addresses vary by client. Financial, family, employment and economic status are all factors which are considered when crafting an estate plan.

Guardianship

In Washington State, a Guardianship is a legal arrangement designed to protect an individual or his or her assets. A Guardian is the person or agency appointed to make decisions for someone who is unable to make competent decisions for himself/herself.

Probate

When a loved one dies there are frequently many complex issues to be resolved. Often, whether the individual died having executed a Last Will and Testament or not, these issues are resolved during the legal process called probate.

Corporation

There are numerous types of business entities available, and our office can advise you with respect to the dangers and benefits of a particular business arrangement and suggest alternatives that may more fully meet and protect your business and personal needs.

Real Estate

The purchase, sale, lease, rental or gifting of real property is a major decision. If you are selling or buying real property without the aid of a real estate agent, it is important to have an experienced professional prepare or review the necessary documents to complete the transaction properly.
