Practice Areas

Estate Planning
​We create the wills, trusts, powers of attorney, HIPAA authorizations, living wills and visitation directives appropriate for each client’s situation.  We can structure a will or trust to protect assets for the next generation in the event of a child’s divorce, a spouse’s remarriage after your death, a special needs beneficiary, or other circumstances.  We can also enhance your legacy through providing for charitable donations from your estate at your death.  We will even provide for your four-legged family members!  Avoid the pitfalls of DIY estate planning – one frequent one being capital gains taxes that result from lifetime gifting of property that has appreciated in value.  We will also advise you regarding probate avoidance.
Elder Law
​We help clients prepare for long term care expenses – whether with an irrevocable trust created in advance to protect assets, or in a crisis.  We also explain the Medicaid and/or VA pension eligibility rules, and the exceptions to those rules.  Confer with us any time after you turn 65, or soon after a diagnosis of dementia, Parkinson’s, ALS or another debilitating condition that is likely to require extensive long-term care. Because Medicaid and the VA will ignore a pre-marital agreement, we sometimes create an irrevocable trust before a mature couple marries and creates a blended family.  This better protects assets for “his family” and “her family.”
Probate & Estate or Trust Administration
​We assist clients after the death of a loved one when action is required to give proper notices and pay claims against the estate, get clear title to real estate and other assets, and then distribute them to family members per the terms of a will or Arkansas law.  We will also assist a successor trustee with respect to the administration of a trust.   
Real Estate Transactions
​We represent property owners, buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, lenders and borrowers with respect to real estate transactions, whether a purchase, sale, lease or financing.
