Wills & Trusts

Our wills and trusts attorneys have experience with the most common types of estate planning documents, including living trusts, pour-over wills, durable power of attorney and advanced health care directives. We also assist our clients with the transfer of assets into the trust once formed.


Trust and Probate Administration

When a trustee/grantor passes, it is often necessary for a designated third party to step in and administer the trust or estate according to the applicable rules and guidelines. This helps to ensure the assets are distributed and utilized as intended by the deceased or as required by law. The lawyers at Jones & Mayer are knowledgeable about the processes involved with both trust and probate administration. We also provide services to assist with trust divisions upon the death of a spouse.
