Welcome to Apricity Law, where we offer comprehensive estate planning services to help you protect your assets and secure your family's future. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to providing personalized legal solutions that cater to your unique needs. Explore our key services below:
Revocable Trusts
A Revocable Trust is a versatile estate planning tool that allows you to maintain control over your assets during your lifetime while ensuring a smooth transition of those assets upon your passing.
Benefits of a Revocable Trust:
Avoid Probate — Assets held in a revocable trust bypass the probate process, saving your loved ones time and money.
Maintain Privacy — Unlike a will, a trust is not a public document, keeping your affairs private.
Flexibility — You can modify or revoke the trust at any time, providing you with flexibility as your circumstances change.
Continuous Management — In the event of incapacitation, a designated trustee can manage your assets, ensuring they are handled according to your wishes.
Our attorneys will work closely with you to draft a revocable trust that meets your goals, giving you peace of mind knowing your estate is in good hands.
Advanced Health Care Directives
An Advanced Health Care Directive is a crucial component of your estate plan, allowing you to outline your healthcare preferences and appoint a trusted individual to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so.
Key Features of an Advanced Health Care Directive:
Healthcare Preferences — Specify your wishes regarding medical treatments, end-of-life care, and other critical healthcare decisions.
Appoint a Health Care Agent — Designate a trusted person to make healthcare decisions for you if you are incapacitated.
Peace of Mind— Ensure that your healthcare preferences are respected and that your loved ones are not burdened with making difficult decisions during stressful times.
Our team will guide you through the process of creating an advanced health care directive that reflects your values and preferences, providing you and your family with confidence and clarity.
Powers of Attorney
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants someone you trust the authority to handle your financial and legal affairs if you are unable to do so.
Types of Powers of Attorney:
Durable Power of Attorney— Remains effective even if you become incapacitated, ensuring continuous management of your affairs.
Financial Power of Attorney— Allows your agent to manage your financial matters, including banking, investments, and real estate transactions.
Limited Power of Attorney— Grants specific powers for a limited time or purpose, such as handling a particular financial transaction.
Having a well-drafted power of attorney ensures that your financial matters are managed according to your wishes, preventing potential complications and legal challenges.
