Estate Planning, Administration, and Elder Law

Death and aging are two difficult topics to think about, never mind plan. Estate planning is a task many people either consciously or unconsciously delay. The compassionate attorneys at Colorado Transaction Law can help you with your estate planning and administration needs. If you are an older adult or one with special needs, our attorneys are thoroughly versed in elder law.

Our attorneys will sit down with you to discuss all of your financial and health decision-making needs. Services we provide include drafting wills, creating trusts, drafting power of attorney documents, writing advanced directives, and establishing gun trusts.

When you work with us, you can rest assured knowing your wishes are explicitly written out for your family, close friends, health professionals, lawyers, or other designated individuals to follow. You can also rest easy knowing you’ve planned everything to make it easier for your family after your passing since you’ve made all the hard decisions for them.

The legal team at Colorado Transaction Law is fully equipped to provide you with caring and personalized service with these difficult choices. If you need a Colorado estate planning and elder law attorney, contact us today. Our office is located in Littleton, CO, but we serve the entire state of Colorado and are pleased to provide our clients with remote services.

Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Advanced Directives, Gun Trusts

Every legal adult should consider doing some level of estate planning. How much you should do depends upon your assets and holdings. At the most basic level, you should have a will, power of attorney, and advanced directives written out. The Colorado Transaction Law attorneys will sit with you to document these important decisions.

Even if you possess few assets, we’ll help you write a simple last will and testament. If your estate is more complex, we’ll assist in establishing trusts to ensure your beneficiaries don’t have to experience long, drawn-out probate situations. Other estate planning services we provide include:

• Power of attorney documents
• Advanced medical directives
• Gun trusts to ensure safe transfer of your weapons
• And more (just ask!)

Essentially, the more assets you own, the more complicated your estate planning is, but not to worry. Our attorneys have the right knowledge and skills to ensure everything is in order. We’ll also help you to outline decisions in the event you become capacitated, so your wishes will be carried out exactly as you would want.

Probate

Family members are already suffering when they’ve lost a loved one. Finding out they’ll face Colorado’s probate laws while grieving typically makes things harder to bear. In Colorado, probate takes a minimum of six months to complete, but settling complex estates can take up to two years.

Each case is different, but when you have an experienced probate attorney at your side, this makes the process easier. At Colorado Transaction Law, we want to ease your burdens. If your family member passes and didn’t leave a will, you discover you need to validate a will, or another dispute occurs, the caring attorneys at our law firm can help.

When you work with us, we'll try to minimize the emotional duress and familial conflict the process might cause and help get you through this difficult time.
