Estate Planning

Ohio Estate Planning Lawyer

Whether precipitated by an overseas trip, a divorce, the death of a partner, or the birth of children, planning for the future is important. In order to ensure that your wishes regarding the disbursement of your estate are honored, you need an estate planning attorney.

At the law office of William S. Cole, Attorney at Law, located in Jackson, Ohio, I work with clients from all walks of life, helping them to devise plans today to avoid problems tomorrow. Contact me for assistance in drafting a comprehensive will or trust.

Estate Planning for the Future

Thinking now about providing for your beneficiaries in the case of untimely death may feel premature, yet it is never too late to make such provision. I have helped numerous clients create or revise wills, trusts, and healthcare powers of attorney. I also assist in the appointing of guardians or conservators for those too young or unable to take care of themselves in your absence. In the nearly 30 years I have been practicing law, I've assisted clients with various aspects of estate planning, including the following:

• Simple and complex wills
• Trusts
• Living wills
• Durable powers of attorney
• Healthcare powers of attorney
• Guardianships and conservatorships

Estate Planning and Taxes

For many of my clients, estate taxes are a concern. As an estate planning lawyer, I am often called upon to advise clients on the proper way in which to hold or designate property for tax purposes. My goal is to help you make a plan which makes sense for both the present and the future while minimizing financial repercussions.
