Inheritances, whether you’re bequeathing or receiving, involve many types of law, from probate to Elder Law, estate planning, tax law, and even retirement planning. As an experienced Rhode Island inheritance lawyer, we wear a lot of hats. Our legal team helps you understand how to plan for retirement and receiving Medicaid so you can leave something for your children, guide you through probate if you’ve been named the executor of a will, or set up a Special Needs Trust to improve your special needs child’s life. Most of us want to leave an inheritance for those we love and feel a responsibility to provide for them after we pass away.
At McCarthy Law, LLC, we practice all the types of law that comprise a robust inheritance law practice. If you’ve recently received money, we can help you learn your options for investing, saving, or spending. If you want to leave your children assets, we can help you reduce estate taxes and avoid probate. Please contact us for a consultation for professional estate planning and inheritance advice tailored to your financial goals and obligations.
Benefits Of Working With Inheritance Attorneys
There are a lot of DIY inheritance forms on the internet, but they don’t come close to personalized advice from a real attorney. Rhode Island’s Estates Code is subject to change every year and is open to interpretation to form a body of case law. Our lawyers stay up to date on changes in the law that could affect your estate plan, inheritance, and financial goals, then guide you to the right solution.
We also help you create the legal documents that form your estate plan. Most people think that estate planning starts and ends with a will, but in fact, it includes trusts, like a Medicaid trust to help preserve your assets when you’re older, Power of Attorney, naming someone as your legal agent should you become unable to advocate for yourself, life insurance, and a guardianship designation for your minor children. Our attorneys create the right legal protections so you can face the future knowing you have a plan.
We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to inheritance matters because everyone’s needs differ.
