Toolin Law, P.L.L.C.

Guardianship Matters

When an individual is unable to make informed healthcare or financial decisions, or if they do not have a legal agent, a Guardianship Petition may be needed to ensure the Court appoints a legal agent to act on that individual's behalf. Toolin Law can assist with Petitioning the Court for the appointment of a Guardianship of the Person and/or Estate. 

Advance Directives

If an individual has capacity to elect a legal agent to act on their behalf to make healthcare and/or financial decisions, Toolin Law can assist with creating a Financial Power of Attorney, Healthcare Power of Attorney, Health Care Proxy, and/or Living Will documents, to ensure a person's choice to make informed decisions on their behalf when they no longer can.

Wills and Trust

Toolin Law can help provide education to determine the best course of planning for your loved ones. 100% of people need Estate planning and we will work with you to determine your needs and budget depending on your goals. Creating a Trust will help your loved ones avoid probating your estate upon your death avoiding additional fees and cost that are associated with probate. However, many people prefer to have a will drafted that can be revoked or changed easily without needing to retitle their assets. Toolin Law can help navigate this decision with you.
