Estate Planning / Elder Law

Bluefield Living Trusts Lawyers

Estate planning is a broad term that refers to managing one's property during life and arranging for its disposition upon death, taking into account tax laws, insurance, and real and personal property. Elder law refers to the increasingly complex array of legal issues related to property, Medicaid and Medicare planning, and health care decisions affecting the aged and aging population.

The estate planning attorneys at the Bluefield, West Virginia, law firm of Brewster, Morhous, Cameron, Caruth, Moore, Kersey, & Stafford, PLLC, have extensive experience preparing the necessary documentation for effective management and disposition of property, estate tax planning, and sound health care decision-making and planning. We prepare wills, trusts, living and testamentary trusts, asset transfers, living wills, advanced medical directives, medical powers of attorney, durable powers of attorney, guardianships, and conservatorships. We handle simple and complex trust and estate administration.
