Wills, Trusts & Estate Planning

At Freeborn & Freeborn, we provide comprehensive estate planning services tailored to meet each client’s unique needs, wishes, and family dynamics.

Estate planning is far more than simply drafting documents. It is a thoughtful process that involves evaluating your estate as a whole and designing a legal plan that reflects your personal goals and values. Whether your objective is to provide for your family, avoid probate, reduce legal fees and taxes, or maintain privacy, we create a customized estate plan that accomplishes your goals with clarity and efficiency.

We provide key estate planning documents such as:

• Last Will and Testament – Direct how your assets will be distributed and appoint guardians for minor children.
• Durable Power of Attorney – Appoint someone you trust to manage your financial affairs in the event of incapacity.
• Health Care Power of Attorney – Designate a trusted individual to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so.
• Living Will – Outline your preferences regarding life-sustaining medical treatment.
• Revocable Trusts – Avoid probate, provide flexibility, and maintain control over your assets during your lifetime.
• Irrevocable Trusts – Offer potential tax benefits and asset protection.
• Educational Trusts – Set aside funds to support the education of children, grandchildren, or other beneficiaries.
• Testamentary Trusts – Created through your will to provide long-term financial oversight for minor or special needs beneficiaries.

In addition, with your consent, our attorneys are happy to work collaboratively with your financial advisor to ensure that any trusts created are properly funded — a crucial step to ensure that your estate planning objectives are fully realized, particularly regarding probate avoidance and privacy preservation.
