Looking Out for Beneficiaries Through Wills and Trusts
A will is the foundation of most estate plans. It identifies who receives your property after you pass away, names an executor to carry out your wishes, and can designate a guardian for minor children. Without a valid will, Virginia's intestacy laws determine how your estate is distributed, which may not reflect what you would have chosen.
Trusts offer a different set of tools. A revocable living trust holds assets during your lifetime and transfers them to your beneficiaries outside of probate, which can save your family time and keep your affairs private. A testamentary trust, created through your will, can hold assets for a child or other beneficiary until certain conditions are met. For families with a member who has a disability, a special needs trust can preserve benefit eligibility while still providing financial support. Each of these tools serves a different purpose, and the right combination depends on your family's specific situation and goals.
Our attorneys work with clients to build estate plans that reflect their actual wishes rather than generic templates. Whether your estate is straightforward or involves blended families, business interests, or beneficiaries with unique needs, we can help you put a plan together that holds up.

Setting Up Powers of Attorney
Estate planning is not only about what happens after you pass away. It also means preparing for the possibility that you become unable to manage your own affairs during your lifetime. Powers of attorney allow you to designate someone to act on your behalf if that happens.
A financial power of attorney authorizes a trusted person to manage your bank accounts, pay bills, handle real estate transactions, and take care of other financial matters. A healthcare power of attorney designates someone to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to communicate your own wishes. Virginia also recognizes advance medical directives, which allow you to document your preferences about end-of-life care directly.
These documents only have value if they are properly drafted and executed. An improperly prepared power of attorney can create complications at exactly the moment your family needs clarity.
Guardianship and Conservatorship in Virginia
When a person can no longer manage their personal or financial affairs due to age, illness, or disability, a court can appoint a guardian or conservator to act on their behalf. A guardian makes personal and healthcare decisions. A conservator manages financial matters. In some cases, the same person serves in both roles.
Pursuing guardianship or conservatorship requires filing a petition in circuit court, presenting evidence of incapacity, and going through a formal hearing process. These proceedings can move slowly, and they can become contested when family members disagree. Having an attorney involved from the beginning helps ensure the process is handled correctly and that the incapacitated person's rights are protected throughout.
