Estate Planning

At Niehaus Law Office, LLC, we assist our clients in choosing the most beneficial estate planning tools for their circumstances.  For almost all clients, a Will and a Durable Power of Attorney are essential. Many of our clients also benefit from having a Living Will and Healthcare Power of Attorney.  Occasionally a Trust proves to be a beneficial estate-planning tool. 

We educate our clients about the available estate planning tools so that they can make the best decisions.  We also inform our clients about Probate Court and offer suggestions for how they may be able to avoid Probate Court involvement for their estate. 

All of our estate planning and administration suggestions take into consideration the tax ramifications of the various options.  By following our advice, our clients can make advantageous decisions when titling, spending, or transferring their assets, often saving substantial funds for themselves and their heirs.
