wills Guardianship
People often hear the words "Last Will and Testament" and begin to worry. However, worry and fear should be the last things that come to mind when preparing your will. Don't let worry and fear stand in the way of planning for your future.
Preparing a will is planning for the future. It's just that simple. It goes hand-in-hand with obtaining life insurance and making investments. Making a will is certainly an investment, and the "return" on that investment is knowing that you have planned for the future.
Wills are an area of law that is as unique as each client. The O'Connell Law Firm will meet with you to discuss what you would like to have contained in your will, as well as any additional accompanying documents that are necessary in preparing your will.
The O'Connell Law Firm offers flat fees for the preparation of your will and accompanying documents. Our fees are competitive, and varied payment options are available to you prior to the execution of your will.
For more information about how you can move forward with preparing your will, contact the O'Connell Law Firm to schedule a time to meet with Jill to discuss your needs.
guardianship Guardianship
Guardianship is a legal process designed to protect vulnerable persons from abuse, neglect (including self-neglect), and exploitation. Guardianship provides for the person's care and management of his or her money while preserving, to the largest extent possible, that person's independence and right to make decisions affecting his or her life.
Guardianships are created for a variety of different reasons such as when a person becomes incapacitated due to disease, injury, or developmental disability. No matter what the cause, the decision to seek guardianship is often painful and difficult for the alleged incapacitated person and his or her family members.
