Estate Law
Estate law is a crucial area of legal practice that helps individuals and families plan for the future by protecting their assets and ensuring their wishes are carried out after their passing.

Estate Planning: This is the comprehensive process of arranging for the management and disposal of your estate during your lifetime and after your death.
Last Will and Testament & Living Will: A last will and testament specifies how your assets should be distributed, while a living will outlines your healthcare preferences if you become incapacitated.
Power of Attorney: This legal document authorizes a trusted person to make financial or medical decisions on your behalf.
Probate: This is the legal process of proving a will's validity, paying off the deceased person's debts, and distributing their remaining assets.
Bankruptcy Lawers Serving Toledo & Northwest Ohio
Bankruptcy law provides individuals, families, and businesses with a legal process to get relief from overwhelming debt when they are unable to meet their financial obligations. It offers a structured path to a fresh financial start by either eliminating debt through liquidation or reorganizing it into a manageable repayment plan. The goal of bankruptcy law is to provide a second chance while ensuring creditors receive fair treatment.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: This is a liquidation bankruptcy that allows you to eliminate most of your unsecured debts by selling non-exempt assets.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: This is a reorganization bankruptcy for individuals with a regular income, allowing you to repay your debts through a court-approved plan over three to five years.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy: This is a reorganization bankruptcy primarily used by corporations and other businesses to restructure their debt while continuing to operate.
Chapter 12 Bankruptcy: This is a special reorganization bankruptcy exclusively for family farmers and fishermen, offering them a unique way to handle their business debts.
