At Barnes Lipscomb & Stewart, we understand that estate planning can be complex and overwhelming. Our experienced estate planning attorneys bring skill, empathy, and legal expertise to customize planning for each client’s individual and family situation.

Whether you want to protect your estate through comprehensive estate planning or need skilled representation in estate litigation, we’re here to help. Our team takes a compassionate yet results-driven approach to safeguard your family’s interests at every step.

Comprehensive Estate Planning

Effective estate planning does more than distribute assets; it safeguards your legacy, provides for loved ones, and minimizes the risk of future disputes. The attorneys at Barnes Lipscomb & Stewart bring decades of experience developing personalized estate plans that meet each client’s unique needs, ensuring peace of mind for you and your family.

Essential Estate Planning Documents

An effective estate plan requires a foundation of essential documents. These include a will, financial and healthcare powers of attorney, a healthcare directive, and specific permissions to access medical information.

By carefully crafting these documents, we empower clients to retain control over their own affairs and leave behind clear instructions for loved ones. These steps can help prevent estate contests before they arise by providing clarity and direction to loved ones.

Powers of Attorney and Healthcare Directives

Planning for the unexpected is vital in comprehensive estate management. Powers of attorney and healthcare directives enable trusted individuals to make critical financial and medical decisions when clients cannot. At Barnes Lipscomb & Stewart, we guide clients through each option, helping them choose the best designations to protect their interests.

Trusts for Legacy and Asset Protection

A well-structured trust can provide numerous benefits, from avoiding probate to protecting assets from creditors. We offer options such as revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, and other tools to fulfill your goals.

By choosing the right trust, you can protect your privacy and the security of your loved ones while putting your values and priorities first. We carefully assess your financial situation, family needs, and personal goals to recommend the right trust for your needs.
