Providing Personalized Advice and Assistance Backed by Experience
At The Peninsula Center for Estate Planning and Elder Law, we offer a wide range of estate planning services to clients from all walks of life. Williamsburg estate planning lawyer Helena S. Mock has the experience to help clients address a wide range of issues, including the following:
- Wills and trusts: Whether you are interested only in a simple will or you want to establish a trust to avoid probate and accomplish other goals, Ms. Mock can advise and assist you.
- Powers of attorney and living wills: We can help you appoint someone to act on your behalf concerning your legal and financial affairs and express your medical wishes in the event that you become incapacitated.
- Estate tax planning: Ms. Mock, who teaches the estate and gift tax course at William and Mary School of Law, can provide detailed advice on how to minimize taxation of your estate.
- Charitable planning: We regularly help clients maximize the impact and benefit of their charitable gifts through such techniques as the creation of charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, private foundations and public charities.
- GLBT planning: We have the experience to provide effective estate planning services to same-sex couples and gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.
- Pet planning: Many of our clients are particularly concerned about planning ahead for the care of their pets. Pet planning is an important part of our firm's estate planning practice.
- Elder care planning: A major part of our firm's work involves helping clients plan to qualify for Medicaid and VA benefits to help pay for long-term care costs.
At The Peninsula Center, we believe that giving peace of mind to clients with relatively small estates is just as important as doing sophisticated estate planning for clients with larger estates. Whatever the size of your estate, we will help you craft the plan that is right for you.
