Wills, Trusts, and Health Care Directives

Charleston Estate Planning Lawyer

The legal team at the Bostic Law Firm, PA, provides comprehensive estate planning services to individuals and families in the Charleston, South Carolina, area.

If you and your spouse have just had your first child, you may want to designate a guardian and set up a simple will or a family trust to ensure that your child is cared for in your absence.

Perhaps you are an older couple concerned about end of life decision-making and wanting to provide direction for your family so that they know what to do should you be hospitalized and unable to communicate your wishes.

Or perhaps you have built a substantial estate and you wish to leave a legacy through a charitable trust.

Whatever your goals, the Charleston estate planning lawyers at the Bostic Law Firm can help you achieve them with a simple or comprehensive estate plan developed for your specific situation. Contact our office to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your estate planning needs.

WILLS
A will provides written direction for the distribution of your property. Wills are inexpensive and take the burden of dividing property away from family members.

A will can designate bequests of specific items to your loved ones or provide for guardianship for minors. Call us to discuss your estate planning needs.

TRUSTS
There are different types of trusts—living trusts, charitable trusts, family trusts, special needs trusts—but the clear difference between a trust and a will is that a trust will not go through probate. Trusts are typically more expensive to draft and to administer, but they are sometimes the best estate planning choice.

LIVING WILLS or HEALTH CARE POWER OF ATTORNEY
A living will tells your loved ones how you would like them to make medical decisions should you become unable to make decisions yourself. A health care power of attorney designates who will make those decisions. A general power of attorney can allow a trusted person to handle your finances and other business interests.

The South Carolina wills and trusts attorneys at the Bostic Law Firm provide a free initial consultation to individuals and families considering the process of estate planning. We can accomplish your estate planning goals efficiently and effectively. Contact our office to set up an initial consultation.
