Services
An Estate Plan begins with a Will or Living Trust.
A Will provides your Personal Representative instructions, but does not avoid probate.
At Leggett Law, we will assist you with all the steps necessary to protect your wishes and insure that your beneficiaries are prepared for any legal matters that may arise as a result of your death.
If you have a complex estate, a revocable living trust may be the preferred plan.
Together, we will script a blue print that will give you peace of mind.
No matter how grand or how simple, everyone has an estate.

Many individuals use charitable trusts to leave all or a portion of their estate to charity when they die, both for philanthropic purposes and for certain tax benefits.
If you have an estate large enough that estate taxes may be due after your death, you have the option to create potentially significant voluntary social capital (which you or your designees can control) through lifetime planning.

What is the evidence of ownership of your real estate?
There is often confusion over the variety of legal documents which are referred to loosely as "deeds."
Each of these deeds plays a special role in the title and transfer of real property and all are filed in the land records of all states.
A WARRANTY DEED is the most common document which indicates the ownership of real estate.
A Grantor (the person/entity selling or transferring the property) "warrants" or "certifies" to the Grantee (the Purchaser/receiver of the property) that title to the property is free and clear of all liens and defects by executing a Warranty Deed.
