Schey, Piller, Alspaugh & Wong, PC

The firm traces its roots to Jacob S. Schey who began his practice in 1907, and was a founding member of the Boulder County Bar Association that same year.
Jacob served as City Attorney for Longmont for more than twenty years, and also conducted his private practice in Longmont until his death in 1963.
He was considered one of the most skilled irrigation law attorneys in the state at that time.
In the mid-1930's, Jacob was joined by his nephew, Theodore "Ted" D. Schey, who continued the tradition of service as City Attorney for twenty more years from 1956 to 1976.

Having graduated from Texas Technological College (Texas Tech University) in 1964, Don Alspaugh launched his career as an officer in the United States Air Force, serving in the Strategic Air Command in various capacities but all involving the Minuteman missile system.
In mid-1973, Don began his law practice in Longmont.
Don's practice includes areas as varied as real estate development and representation of business entities, but his primary areas of interest now involve estate planning and administration, guardianship and conservatorship, nursing home planning which often includes Medicaid.

Estate planning is one of the most important steps any person can take to make sure that their final property and health care wishes are honored, and that loved ones are provided for in their absence.
Though often overlooked or put off in favor of more immediate concerns, a comprehensive estate plan can resolve a number of legal questions that arise whenever anyone dies: What is the state of their financial affairs?
What real and personal property do they own?
Who gets what?
Does a personal guardian need to be appointed to care for minor children?

In a limited guardianship the guardian assumes only the delegable rights specifically given by a court order.
The subject of the guardianship (called a ward of the court) keeps all other decision-making rights not specifically outlined by the court.
In a plenary guardianship the rights enumerated in state laws that can be delegated can be applied to the person, the estate, or both.
Guardianship of the estate or property may include anything that is the subject of ownership whether tangible or intangible.
