Roanoke, Virginia, Wills and Trusts Attorney

Two of the most flexible tools used for creating a long-term plan for distributing assets from your estate are the will and the trust. By using these documents, you can ensure that your assets are distributed as you wish upon your death. These documents can also detail how you wish to provide for your loved ones after you are gone.

At the law office of Douglas D. Wilson, PLC, our firm provides experienced assistance to clients drafting wills and trusts. Attorney Doug Wilson has over 25 years of experience drafting wills and trusts for clients in Roanoke and throughout the surrounding areas. We interview our clients, examining your assets and property, finding out how you want to distribute your estate and we then explain the methods we can use to reach these goals. By doing this, we are better able to tailor your estate planning documents to suit your needs.

Wills

A will is a valuable tool for planning your estate. It is essentially a set of instructions for the distribution of your assets upon your death. In order to ensure that those assets are dispersed according to your wishes, you should have a will. Without a will, Virginia intestate succession statutes will control how your estate is distributed. You need an experienced estate planning attorney to prepare a will that follows your wishes rather than have a court directing their distribution differently than you wish.

Trusts

There are many different types of trusts which can be tailored to achieve different goals. We discuss your situation and plans for the assets. Trusts are very flexible, and can be used for many different purposes, from tax minimization to caring for disabled or incapacitated family members. Our firm has experience drafting a variety of trusts, including revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts or living trusts.

In addition to handling wills and trusts, we also assist clients with other related matters, including creating living wills, health care directives and powers of attorney.
