Wills and Trusts Attorney
Your Wills and Trusts Lawyers
Wills and trusts are an important part of preparing yourself and your family for what’s ahead. For significant documents such as wills, hire legal professionals to save yourself from costly mistakes in the future. Call Hoffman & Forde today to speak with our wills and trusts attorneys.
Your Future Starts Today
Unprecedented events such as market changes, natural disasters, and pandemics can prompt individuals and their families to draw up wills with an attorney, and for good reason. With so much health and economic uncertainty nowadays, we find families wanting to make sure their loved ones are taken care of in case they become incapacitated.
Wills and trusts are both methods of transferring an estate, but there are key differences and can be suited to your needs. Wills take effect after your death and they lay out your final wishes for how to dispose of your property. On the other hand, a trust (also known as a living trust) takes effect as soon as you create it. With trusts, a trustee or third-party holds your assets on your behalf and you specify how and when your assets pass to your beneficiaries.
You may not have control over global markets and pandemics. But you can, to a degree, control how your assets are distributed. Find out how a living trust or wills attorney could help you make wise decisions and plan well.

Client Testimonials
I personally worked with Mr. Hoffman who provided me with prompt, detailed and sound legal advice. I was in a situation where the seller of my home cut corners and he helped me get out of paying an arm and a leg by using his expertise to demonstrate why the seller was responsible. Don't look any further for your legal needs.
Patrick W.
Sky and Dan are great to deal with on matters of real estate and business. Cogent, concise, and pragmatic legal advice. I feel very well represented and have been treated fairly when it comes to their fee schedule. I am very selective when it comes to giving referrals and Hoffman & Forde have never dropped the ball when I have sent them one.
