Wills and Trusts

Wills and trusts are two of the most important elements of estate planning. As the primary method of dividing assets after a person's death, wills must be drafted and executed in accordance with specific legal requirements for them to be valid. It is important to have an experienced estate planning lawyer to help avoid potentially disastrous mistakes.

Trusts can be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to wills. They can be excellent tools for reducing estate taxes, protecting assets from creditors, and managing assets for beneficiaries unable to capably do so themselves.

 

Probate and Estate Administration

Probate is a required court proceeding whereby a will is declared valid and a personal representative (executor) is appointed to administer the estate, which includes settling the decedent's affairs, paying estate debts and taxes, and transferring the remaining assets to the beneficiaries.

Choosing a legal structure is an important first step in starting a business.  Making a poor decision can hurt your business prospects before you've even made your first sale. Understanding the differences among business structures can help you make the most money, with the least hassle, while keeping your risks as small as possible.

The Law Offices of Charles R. Wellington will assist you in determining your business goals, priorities, and negotiating strategies. We advise businesses of all sizes.

 

Charles Wellington has over 38 years of experience counseling clients on business issues involving:

  • Startups - setting up corporations and limited liability companies

  • Restrictive stockholder agreements

  • Buying and selling businesses

  • Resolution of business disputes

  • Contracts

  • Employment contracts and severance agreements

  • A broad range of related issues

 

Liability Protection

If you own your home or have other personal assets, you can protect those assets from creditors who might try to take them to pay off business debts. Businesses can fail. If your business operates under your own name, failure of your business can exhaust your life savings. Setting up your business as an independent entity creates a barrier between your personal and business assets. Corporations and limited liability companies can offer this type of protection.

Please call us to schedule a consultation or send us a message us  through this website. We will be happy to assist you.
