Estate Planning

Dayton Estate Planning Attorneys

Helping with Wills, Trusts, & More in Montgomery County & Greene County

Most people don’t want to think about getting sick, losing mental capacity, or death. Having even the most basic estate plan can ensure that your loved ones understand your intentions for the distribution of your assets, the plan for your health care, who you intend to be the guardian of your minor children, and your funeral arrangements.

What is Estate Planning?

Estate planning is the process of assisting clients in arranging and preparing their affairs in the event of injury, illness, incapacity, or death. Many people think estate planning is for the very wealthy, but they couldn’t be more incorrect with that assessment. Everyone should have a basic estate plan in place. Our Ohio law firm provides a full range of estate planning services for individuals and families of all types, from the very basic to the advanced. Our Dayton estate planning lawyers are ready to take your case.
