Estate Planning: Estate planning is the process by which an individual or family arranges the transfer of assets to future generations.  Planning can range from the drafting of a “simple” will to complex trust and tax planning.  An estate plan aims to preserve the maximum amount of wealth possible for the intended beneficiaries.  Do you need a trust or a simple will?  How is a trust administered?  Should I try to avoid probate?  How can I save my estate from the taxman?   Let our lawyers help you through this maze.   Washington State has very specific laws with respect to estate planning and it is important to work with attorneys who are familiar with these laws.

Probate: In the State of Washington, probate is the process of establishing the validity of a will before the probate court.  In the absence of a will, the probate court will dispose of a deceased property through a system known as intestate succession.  Probate in Washington State can be a very complicated process that occurs at what can be a very emotional time.  Let Kennedy & Berner, LLP help you.
