Estate Law
The principal objective of estate law, is the orderly transfer of a person’s property to their beneficiaries upon their death in accordance with their wishes and desires. Some of the most important decisions you will make in your lifetime require you to make them while you can. The Heidt Law Firm can help you memorialize your elections, so you can ensure your wishes are adhered to, and reduce the burden on your loved ones. The decisions you make and the documents you create are “living documents,” that require periodic updates as factors in your life change due to marriage, divorce, children, loss of loved ones, or other factors. The Heidt Law Firm periodically pulses our clients to ensure that any changes in their lives that would affect their estate wishes are updated as needed.
