Estate Planning and Probate
Protect What Matters. Plan with Confidence. Navigate Probate with Support.
At Heymann & Fletcher, we help individuals and families take control of their future and protect their legacy. Whether you're creating an estate plan or managing a loved one’s estate after death, our attorneys provide clear, compassionate legal guidance every step of the way.
We understand that estate matters are about more than assets! They are also about honoring your wishes, easing the burden on your family, and ensuring everything is handled with care and integrity.
Wills & Trusts
A well-drafted will or trust is the foundation of any estate plan. We help clients create customized documents that reflect their wishes, minimize disputes, and simplify the transfer of assets. Our estate planning attorneys ensure your plan is legally sound and designed for your specific goals.
Powers of Attorney & Living Wills
Planning for the unexpected is just as important as planning for the inevitable. We help you appoint trusted individuals to manage your finances and healthcare decisions in the event of incapacity.
Our services include:
- Durable Powers of Attorney
- Advance Healthcare Directives (Living Wills)
- HIPAA Authorizations
Estate Administration & Executor Services
If you’ve been named an executor or administrator, we can help you understand your responsibilities and guide you through the probate process. From filing court documents to distributing assets, we work to protect your legal obligations and the estate’s integrity.
Probate & Surrogate Court Guidance
Probate doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We help families submit wills, settle debts, and distribute property legally and efficiently. If there is no will, we assist in navigating intestacy proceedings.
Our team ensures every step is handled properly, so families can focus on healing, not legal stress.
Will Contests & Estate Litigation
Disputes over a will or estate can deeply affect families. We represent clients on both sides of contested matters involving:
- Undue influence or lack of capacity
- Executor misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty
- Disagreements among beneficiaries
Let’s Plan Together
Your estate plan should bring peace of mind. Probate doesn’t have to feel like a maze. Let our experienced attorneys help you protect your loved ones, carry out your wishes, and ease the burden on your family.
