Estate planning is important, especially for those with spouses and children. At Woodlawn Law Offices in O’Fallon, Maryland, many area residents trust the experienced group of professionals to provide a variety of legal services, including estate planning, family law, and even assistance with personal injury cases. Attorney David Schmidt has over 25 years of working in the legal system, offering trusted, reliable results in and out of the courtroom.

Knowing what will be left behind for the survivors and how it will be dispersed makes probate much faster and more reliable. Two common solutions are revocable trusts and a Last Will and Testament.

A revocable trust is one in which assets are transferred directly to the heirs without the need for probate. This is an excellent estate planning tool that can be customized for your assets and post-mortem distribution needs while giving you the control of distribution through your appointed successor trustee.

A Last Will and Testament is a technical document. Even a simple will can involve several decisions along with proper execution of the document.

The firm of Woodlawn Law Office is experienced and guides you through the decision process. The cost for your simple estate plan package prepared by this team is competitive and in most cases, not much more expensive than the cost of a “will and trust” computer program. David Schmidt prepares wills by considering all recent changes in the law, particularly any federal estate tax issues which may be involved.
