Planning for Your Legal FutureThe Law Offices of L. Scott Spears JD, MBA
Practice Areas
Our firm handles legal matters in the following practice areas:
Estate Planning - Our experts can show you how to maximize your assets for you and your family's future.
- Wills - Your Will determines how your assets will be distributed after your death. A Will also enables you to appoint a representative to manage your affairs, and, if needed, a guardian for your minor (or disabled adult) children.
- Trusts - Using our expertise, we can show you innovative ways to give your assets to the people and organizations you want to receive them, and to provide for unique situations and circumstances. A Living Trust can assist in the transfer of your assets, while avoiding some of the cost and delay of probate. In some cases, a Living Trust can also help minimize the impact of estate tax.
- Guardianships - If you have children whose person or estate needs to be protected, we will guide you through the legal system to ensure their needs are met.
Elder Services - Our growing senior population has unique legal needs. We have the knowledge and experience to identify those needs, and to understand how to assist you.
- Powers of Attorney - Who will control your assets, and under what conditions? A power of attorney enables you to make clear and authoritative choices.
- Advance Health Care Directives - None of us likes to think about ourselves being unable to voice our wishes with regard to medical services or end-of-life care. But sometimes, life happens. The time to document your intentions is before the need arises.
- Conservatorships - If you have family members whose person or estate needs to be protected, we will guide you through the legal system to ensure their needs are met.
Litigation Services
- Probate, Will, and Trust Litigation - When you can't avoid probate court -- and sometimes, you can't -- we will represent your interests and guide you through the complicated legal system.
- Elder Abuse Litigation - Our seniors are often the most vulnerable members of our society. When elders are not receiving the care they deserve, or are being mistreated because of their vulnerability, we understand how to help.
- Personal Injury Litigation - If you are injured by someone else's negligence, we'll defend your rights. With our legal team on your side, you'll get the full benefit of the care and compensation to which you are legally entitled.
- Wrongful Death Litigation - If a family member is killed due to someone else's negligence, we are here to help you achieve your full legal rights of which you and your family are entitled.
