FAQ

Estate planning attorneys answer your questions

No, we charge fixed fees listed on our fee schedule for basic packages of documents (wills, possibly revocable trusts, general powers of attorney, advance medical directives, etc.) and for other documents (e.g., irrevocable trusts for life insurance or to benefit children or grandchildren) used in some cases. These fees are agreed on before we get started.

At Tansill & Associates, PLLC, we believe that today's probate legal practice should simplify the legal process and avoid probate to the extent possible through creative after-death planning. There are many ways to accomplish this. Contact us to schedule an appointment to discuss your particular situation.

Disputes and conflicting claims do arise more frequently than one might think in medium and large estates, particularly if the surviving spouse is not the parent of all of the decedent's children. We have the experience to counsel and represent family members, executors, and trustees to protect and advocate their best interests even in the most complex situations.

The law recognizes the right of individuals to arrange their affairs to limit their liability to potential future creditors. Clients want asset protection planning. Available and appropriate asset protection strategies hinge on the details of a client’s circumstances.
