Estate planning is one of the most important gifts you can give to your loved ones. It is not just for the wealthy; it is for anyone who wants to ensure that their wishes are honored and their family is protected after they are gone. As a dedicated estate planning lawyer, Alexis Tighe helps you create a roadmap for the future. At Tighe and Jenkins, LLC, we specialize in drafting comprehensive documents, including wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. Our goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing that your assets will be distributed according to your wishes and that your family will be spared unnecessary legal hurdles.
A wills and trusts attorney is essential for navigating the complexities of asset protection and probate avoidance. While a simple will is a foundational document, a trust can provide much greater flexibility and privacy. Alexis Tighe works with you to determine the right structure for your needs, whether it is a revocable living trust, an irrevocable trust, or a special needs trust. We help you articulate your goals—such as providing for a minor child, protecting a family business, or supporting a charitable cause—and then we build the legal framework to make those goals a reality.
In addition to asset distribution, an estate planning lawyer ensures that you have a plan in place for incapacity. This is an often-overlooked aspect of estate planning. By creating a durable power of attorney and a living will, you designate someone you trust to make financial and medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. This prevents your family from having to go through a costly and public guardianship process during a time of crisis. Alexis Tighe approaches these conversations with sensitivity and clarity, helping you make difficult decisions with confidence.
At Tighe and Jenkins, LLC, we believe that estate planning is an ongoing process. As your life changes—through marriage, the birth of a child, or the acquisition of new assets—your plan should be updated. As your wills and trusts attorney, we provide the long-term support needed to ensure your documents always reflect your current reality. We take the time to explain the legal jargon in plain English, ensuring you fully understand every part of your plan. When you choose Alexis Tighe for your estate planning needs, you are choosing a partner who is dedicated to preserving your legacy and protecting your family’s future.
