Simple Will Attorneys
An attorney should always be a part of your estate planning and the setting up of a simple and/or living will... and it doesn't cost you a lot of money. A lawyer can help you properly draft a Last Will and Testament so that it will be accepted by the probate court, saving your loved ones time and money. A Last Will and Testament done by a lawyer should have witnesses, notary seals and a self proving affidavit. Talk to us about these and other details for establishing or updating a will.
Living Wills Attorney
Living wills offer a method for individuals to express their preferences about the medical care they receive or decline in the event they are unable to do so because of a serious illness or injury. Consulting with an attorney will ensure you cover all aspects of Virginia's Advance Medical Directive criteria.
Powers-of-Attorney Services
The Virginia Uniform Power of Attorney Act defines a power of attorney as a written document designating an agent to act on behalf of a principal who signed it. The document grants as much or as little authority to the agent as is specified by the principal. This can grant a trusted person with a considerable amount of leverage over your affairs, thus it is always wise to consult with an estate planning attorney when taking this into consideration.

People want to take charge of their health care decisions. No one understands this better than the attorneys at The Law Offices of John W. Lee, P.C.

Virginia Probate Litigation
Probate is the process by which a deceased person’s estate is divided and distributed to his or her heirs or beneficiaries. This process is started by a qualified person being made the executor or administrator of the estate. In cases in which there is a will, this person is named to serve as the executor. But this also deals with cases of not having a will where an experienced attorney should be involved to follow through on the probate process effectively.
Virginia Estate Administration Lawyers
Estate administration involves the appointment of a representative with the authority to take control of and manage the deceased party’s assets, pay tax and other obligation, and distribute the remainder of the estate to heirs and beneficiaries according to the wishes of the deceased while complying with Virginia law. Call the experienced estate planning attorneys at The Law Firm of John W. Lee, P.C. if you need help with estate administration litigation.
