Estate planning involves more than deciding who receives your property. Your plan can also address who manages your affairs if you become incapacitated, who can make health care decisions for you, and how you want certain matters handled after your death.<\/p>\n
Because Virginia has specific requirements for estate planning documents, it is important to make sure your documents are properly prepared and executed. The Virginia State Bar<\/a><\/strong> provides resources on Virginia law and legal matters that can help you better understand the importance of working with an attorney.<\/p>\n

But waiting can leave important decisions to Virginia law or create unnecessary uncertainty for your family. Working with estate planning attorneys in Hampton Roads can help you put a plan in place before those decisions become urgent.<\/p>\n Creating an estate plan while you are able to make your own decisions gives you the opportunity to clearly communicate your wishes and prepare for the future. It is also important to review your plan when major life events occur, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, a significant change in your finances, or the death of a beneficiary.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_text=”Call 757-896-0868 Today!” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”18px” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#0d4a7c” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”0px” button_font=”Lato|700||on|||||” button_icon=”||divi||400″ custom_margin=”15px|||||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f4f4f4″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1400px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”–et_global_heading_font|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#0d4a7c” header_2_font_size=”30px” custom_margin=”||15px||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_2_font_size_phone=”28px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”–et_global_body_font|500|||||||” text_text_color=”#555555″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.4em” link_text_color=”#0d4a7c” header_3_font=”–et_global_body_font|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#555555″ header_3_font_size=”24px” header_3_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||40px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Hampton Roads Law Firm represents clients throughout the Virginia Peninsula and Southside Hampton Roads.<\/p>\n Whether you need a will, trust, power of attorney, advance medical directive, or help with another estate planning matter, our estate planning attorneys in Hampton Roads can help you understand your options and put a plan in place.<\/p>\nWhy Do You Need An Estate Plan?<\/h3>\n
