Estate Planning

Estate planning is an essential process for ensuring that your wishes are honored and your assets are distributed according to your desires after you pass away. At William L. Gieske, P.C., we specialize in creating comprehensive estate plans that include wills, living wills, and powers of attorney. These legal tools help protect your interests and provide clarity for your loved ones in times of need.

A will is one of the cornerstones of estate planning. It specifies how your assets will be distributed, names guardians for minor children, and appoints executors to manage your estate. Without a will, the state will decide how your property is distributed, potentially creating confusion or conflict among your heirs. At William L. Gieske, P.C., we ensure that your will is legally sound, clear, and in line with your wishes, providing peace of mind for you and your family.

Living wills are equally important, as they communicate your healthcare preferences in the event you are unable to make decisions due to illness or injury. This document outlines the types of medical treatments you would or would not want, helping your loved ones and medical providers respect your wishes during difficult times. At William L. Gieske, P.C., we assist you in creating a living will that reflects your values and medical preferences.

In addition to wills and living wills, powers of attorney are vital components of any comprehensive estate plan. A Medical Power of Attorney appoints a trusted individual to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. A Financial Power of Attorney allows someone to manage your financial affairs in the event you are unable to do so. A General Power of Attorney grants someone broad authority over various legal and financial matters. These documents ensure that decisions regarding your health and finances are handled by someone you trust, protecting your best interests.

At William L. Gieske, P.C., we are committed to helping you craft an estate plan that provides clarity, control, and protection for your future. Whether you’re planning for the distribution of assets, healthcare decisions, or managing your financial matters, we’re here to guide you through the process.
