Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  "We have been thrilled with the service provided by Millett Law Office and think that Jason and Shelice make a great team. We first used Jason over ten years ago to help my mom review and revise her existing trust after my father passed away. Jason was so caring and thoughtful that even after all that time, we remembered his kind demeanor and thoughtful approach and called upon him to establish our own trust and estate planning package. Jason is great at asking questions that prompt good decisions and is very knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge to guide his clients in establishing the estate plan that best meets their needs. Shelice is very friendly and easy to communicate with and therefore helps to make the process an easy one. We have already referred Millett Law office to my sister to establish her estate plan and will continue to refer them to others with no hesitation whatsoever!"
• Wills
  The specific language of a Will is crucial. A good Will makes your intentions clear, it clarifies the deliberate wishes of a sound mind, and prevents confusion and conflict between heirs. A Trust is a legal entity that can live perpetually. It owns your property for you, so that when you pass away there is no break in ownership, and no need to involve the Courts. We can help with both Wills & Trusts so your property is protected and won't be tied up in courts should you or a loved one pass away. learn more
• Trusts
  A Trust is a legal entity that can live perpetually.  It owns your property for you, so that when you pass away there is no break in ownership, and no need to involve the Courts.  While you are alive, you are the Trustee of your Living Trust, and you direct the spending, lending, use, trade, sale, encumbering, etc. of your assets just as though you owned them personally.  A successor Trustee of your choosing assumes management of the Trust assets when you pass away, or before, if you elect.  The successor Trustee may be a friend or relative, or it may be an attorney, a corporate Trustee, or a fiduciary.  The Trustee administrates the uses or disbursements of the assets according to your instructions in the Trust.
