EASY ESTATE PLANNING

Feeling overwhelmed with the prospect of starting handling your estate matters, or facing the realities of a sudden passing in the family? Paperclip Law is here to help! Paperclip understands that the prospect of handling wills & estates can often feel daunting, but partnering with one of our highly knowledgable team members makes it easy to figure out the right path forward, no matter what your circumstances may be. At present, our team offers assistance with a wide variety of will and probate matters including:

Lifetime Planning

Lifetime planning (also referred to as incapacity planning) is vital if you wish to guarantee your explicit medical and quality of life decisions are followed in the event you find yourself unable to handle your own affairs. Lifetime planning serves as inarguable documentation of your wishes and ensures that everyone and everything involved in the process of handling your care, as well as your estate should the need arise. In the case of an unfortunate incident, incapacity planning handles matters such as:

  • Powers of attorney
  • Representation agreements for health care
  • Living Wills
  • Committee applications (for those who are no longer capable of managing their affairs, but have not or cannot appoint a power of attorney)

Estate Planning

The reality of estate planning is that having a plan in place to handle the allocation of your personal accounts and assets will greatly reduce the stress on your beneficiaries upon your passing. During their time of grieving, providing a guiding path that clearly spells things out is one of the best gifts you can give, and serves as a final act of love for those that mean the most to you. Paperclip Law is pleased to assist with:

  • Wills
  • Life insurance trusts
  • Acting as an executor or trustee in your will or trust
  • Serving as an alternate executor or trustee as needed

Estate Administration

Need someone to take the reins in your absence or if your chosen executor is unable to take on the role? Paperclip’s estate administration services are designed to provide clarity and reassurance during such a challenging time of transition for loved ones. Our experts are happy to answer any questions that may arise and provide support via:

  • Guiding executors and trustees through the process and necessary steps of carrying out your wishes.
