Thoughtful Estate Planning For Peace Of Mind

Planning for the future involves more than just finances. At BRE Law, LLC, we provide clients with the legal guidance needed to secure their family’s legacy, protect assets, and fulfill personal wishes. With our compassionate approach, you don’t have to navigate these complex matters alone.

Our founding attorney, Barbara R. Evans, offers clients clear and effective estate planning solutions. We are dedicated to creating custom plans that meet your goals for the future and ensure your wishes are honored. Our services include:

Wills And Trusts

Crafting a will or establishing a trust allows you to control how your assets are distributed. We assist clients in making the best choice for their needs, including:

Last Will and Testament: Define how your estate will be distributed to beneficiaries.
Trust Formation: Set up living trusts, irrevocable trusts, or other trust types to protect your assets.
Asset Protection: We work to secure your assets, providing protection from creditors or potential legal disputes.

Our goal is to help you establish the right structures so that your loved ones are cared for as you intend.

Powers Of Attorney

Making future decisions about health and finances is easier with a power of attorney. We help clients designate trusted individuals to manage:

Financial Affairs: Grant decision-making authority over bank accounts, investments, and property.
Healthcare Decisions: Ensure your health choices are respected if you’re unable to communicate.

Having powers of attorney in place helps to avoid potential conflicts and ensures your preferences are followed.

Healthcare Directives

A healthcare directive, or living will, guides your family and healthcare providers on your medical wishes. We assist in creating directives that include:

End-of-Life Decisions
Treatment Preferences

This essential document relieves your family from having to make difficult medical choices, knowing your wishes are clearly stated.

Probate And Estate Administration

After a loved one passes, probate can be an emotional and complex process. We provide compassionate guidance for those involved in:

Navigating Probate Court: Assistance with required filings and legal documentation.
Managing Estate Debts: Ensure proper payment to creditors and beneficiaries.

Our experience helps families move smoothly through the probate process while honoring their loved one’s legacy.

Guardianship And Conservatorship

When a family member is unable to manage their own affairs, guardianships or conservatorships may be required. We help you petition the court to establish:

Guardianship: Appoint a guardian to care for an incapacitated loved one.
Conservatorship: Ensure financial matters are managed by a responsible party.
