Bratton Estate & Elder Care Attorneys Will Help You Build a Comprehensive Estate Plan
At Bratton Estate & Elder Care Attorneys, we help our clients put comprehensive, personalized plans in place to address what will happen if they can no longer make their own medical or financial decisions or if they pass away. We always get to know our clients before we create any legal documents. This ensures we have a good idea of your needs and preferences and can create a unique plan that works for your family.
We understand that estate planning is about a lot more than what happens to your assets after you die—it is about leaving your family on firm financial ground. Our attorneys will guide you through the estate planning process, including:
- Naming an administrator who will enter your estate into probate and oversee the administration of your will;
- Taking actions to preserve assets for your family’s future;
- Medicaid planning, when appropriate;
- Safeguarding your minor children’s future by naming a guardian and fiduciary;
- Creating a trust or otherwise safeguarding dependents with special needs; and
- Creating unique plans designed specifically for high-asset or complex estates.
Creating an estate plan often requires utilizing several types of legal documents and services. Depending on your family’s unique needs and the types of services we perform on your behalf as a part of this process, this could vary greatly from case to case. The documents created during your estate planning process could include:
- A last will and testament
- Revocable living trusts and irrevocable trusts
- Powers of attorney
- Healthcare powers of attorney and living will
- Documents related to Medicaid planning and other asset protection plans

You Can Safeguard the Future of Your Minor Children with an Abington Estate Plan
We all hope to see our children grow up, but that should not stop you from taking actions to safeguard their future in the event something happens to both you and their other parent. If you have minor children or adult children with special needs who live with you, we can help you put a plan in place that names a guardian and fiduciary in the event they need one.
As a part of this plan, we will discuss your preferences. You will need to choose someone to provide care for your children as well as someone to oversee their financial support. We can help you make choices that include:
- Who will take care of your children immediately following your death
- Who will have legal custody of your children following your death
- Who will have control of the financial accounts meant to support your children and
- How and when their guardian or the child has access to any assets you left to support their care
We can also include many of your personal preferences in this document. This might include details like:
- The education you prefer for your child
- Any information about necessary medical care or who to contact
- Your preferences for their religious upbringing
More than any other part of an estate plan, our clients tell us that knowing exactly what will happen to their children if they can no longer care for them gives them peace of mind. Let an estate planning lawyer in Abington, PA help you create these important documents today.
