Probate

From asset protection to business succession, we take a holistic approach that considers your full financial picture and personal wishes. 

Wills 

Clear Instructions for Your Legacy 

Wills serve as a crucial element of your estate plan, providing clear instructions on how your property and affairs should be handled after your passing. Whether you need a simple Will or a pour-over Will integrated into a larger estate plan, we will ensure your wishes are captured and implemented in the most effective way. 

Trusts 

Protecting Your Assets and Providing for Loved Ones 

Trusts offer flexible, powerful tools for managing and protecting your assets during your lifetime and beyond. At Dahl Law Group, we help you establish the right type of trust for your situation, whether it’s for asset protection, tax efficiency, or providing for a loved one. We draft and advise on a variety of trusts, including: 

  • Revocable Living Trusts for simplifying the transition of your estate while avoiding probate. 
  • Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts to ensure that life insurance proceeds pass to your loved ones, free from estate taxes. 
  • Charitable Trusts to support the causes you care about while benefiting from potential tax deductions. 
  • Special Needs Trusts to provide for a disabled loved one without jeopardizing their access to needs-based government benefits. 

Our team works closely with you to ensure that your trust aligns with your goals and provides maximum benefit to your family. 

Advance Health Care Directives 

Planning for Critical Health Decisions 

An Advance Health Care Directive allows you to specify your wishes regarding medical care in the event that you cannot make those decisions yourself. We help you draft directives that reflect your values and provide peace of mind, ensuring that your healthcare preferences are honored, no matter what the future holds. 

Financial Powers of Attorney 

Managing Your Finances When You Cannot 

A Financial Power of Attorney empowers a trusted individual to manage your financial affairs if you are unable to do so. Whether you need a durable or springing Power of Attorney, we can help you designate someone you trust to handle your assets and responsibilities with clarity and confidence. 

Trust Administration 

Supporting Trustees in Fulfilling Their Duties 

Administering a trust comes with significant responsibilities, and failing to meet them can result in legal and financial repercussions. We represent trustees in fulfilling their fiduciary duties, ensuring that the trust is managed in accordance with its terms and applicable laws. Our guidance protects trustees from personal liability and ensures the smooth administration of the trust.
