WILLS, TRUSTS, & ESTATES
We provide clients assistance in planning for a better, more financially stable future for their loved ones through estate planning and the creation of wills. Ensuring your loved ones and future generations are taken care of can be a complex task, especially without the assistance of a qualified estate planning attorney. At K Diffley Law, we are here to help you arrange and transfer your assets in order to preserve wealth and in some cases avoid probate. WE draft, revise, and review estate plans while taking into account federal, and state tax laws.
Wills & Trusts
WILLS
Preparing a will is one of the most important things one can do as they get older. Your will is a legal document that will specifically outline how your assets will be distributed after your death – in whatever way, and to whomever you choose. Our firm will work with you, to help decide how exactly you would like your assets managed, and to whom they should be distributed once you pass. With our experience, we are able to ensure that your assets are kept within your family or given to who you choose without government interference or garnishment.
​
We will also provide quality counsel, to ensure you appoint the proper executor who can pay any taxes, pay money due to creditors and distribute the assets according to your wishes.
TRUSTS
A trust is similar to a will in the way that it outlines how your assets will be managed and distributed after you pass, however it also allows the individual who creates the trust – the Grantor, to designate an individual to manage those assets during your life in the event that you should become incapacitated. We assist you in establishing a document which properly transfers ownership of any selected property or items outlined within the trust.
We assist you in:
-
Drafting, or Revising Wills & Trusts
-
Naming Executors, Grantors, Trustees, Beneficiaries
-
Ensuring Creditors, and other Debts are Paid
-
Preventing Creditors of a Beneficiary from Garnishing Funds
-
Provide Advice and Counsel as to the proper procedural points of Wills & Trusts

AMENDING YOUR WILL OR TRUST
As we age, things in our lives change – in order to keep up with such change you may need to amend or alter certain details within your Will or Trust. Our firm will be there to assist you in making any and all changes.
PROBATE LAW
Probate is the legal process by which a deceased individual’s estate is distributed and any claims made against the estate are resolved. Depending on the specifics of your estate, or the estate of your passed love one(s), our firm will assist you in executing or resolving any issues associated with probate and probate proceedings.
