Estate Planning Attorney Newtown CT

Estate Planning for Newtown Families

Newtown is a community of families, many with significant real estate equity, retirement savings, and family businesses. A proper estate plan ensures these assets pass to the right people in the most efficient way, avoiding the delays and costs of probate where possible.

We help Newtown families draft wills that reflect their specific wishes, establish revocable living trusts that keep assets out of probate, and create powers of attorney and healthcare directives that ensure their wishes are followed if they become incapacitated.

Probate for Newtown Estates

Newtown estates that do not have trusts in place must go through probate, which is handled by the Newtown Probate Court. We assist executors and administrators in navigating the Connecticut probate process and resolving any disputes that arise among heirs.

When to Update Your Estate Plan

Your estate plan should be reviewed after any major life change including marriage, divorce, the birth or adoption of a child, the death of a beneficiary or executor, a significant change in your assets, or a move to a new state. We offer estate plan reviews for existing clients and for individuals who have not had their documents reviewed in several years.
