Whether you need to put together an effective estate plan for the division of your assets upon death or you need to settle the estate of a loved one who has passed away, you want an experienced lawyer to guide you through the process.

We all die. So we should all have a will. If you die without having executed a legally valid will in proper legal form, state law will decide for you who inherits your estate. At the law office of Gary S. Brown, LLC our highly trained, experienced estate attorneys will consult with you and prepare for you a legally enforceable will to ensure your peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will inherit your estate in the manner you intend.
And we help after death. Our legal professionals will handle for you all aspects of the succession process from probating the will to putting the heirs in possession of their legacies. Probate need not be a scary word. With our legal team's skilled assistance we have guided many clients through the legal maze of succession law. In the vast majority of cases our firm can settle an estate inexpensively and quickly. But if you have a complex estate, our experienced attorneys can help with that too.
Our Practice
We offer comprehensive counsel on a broad range of issues related to probate and estates, including:
- Simple Successions / Estates. We can help you settle the estate of a loved one, often in a matter of days, through a simple succession proceeding. We can help you determine whether you qualify for this approach and will handle all matters for a flat fee, if you do.
- Complex Estates. If your loved one's estate is too complex for a simple succession, we will guide you through a succession under administration. We will prepare and file all necessary paperwork and will act as your advocate in all proceedings with the court.
- Wills. We will help you with succession planning, including the preparation of a valid will, so that you can establish a plan for the distribution of your property and the care of your children upon death.
- Estate Planning / Powers of Attorney. We can also help you prepare for possible incapacity, drafting powers of attorney to designate who will make decisions for you or living wills to designate the type of care you want to receive.
