Partition Actions

A partition action can be used to settle disagreements among co-owners regarding the future of a property. The court designates a neutral individual to divide or sell the property, splitting the proceeds between owners, usually present with family inheritances or business partnerships. Our firm minimizes stress, acts in your best interests, and ensures the smoothest possible process.

Will and Trust Preparation

Gain peace of mind for your family's future financial security with our comprehensive estate planning and wealth preservation service. Wills and trusts provide various options for managing your assets upon death. Estates must undergo probate, a prolonged and public process. In contrast, trusts bypass probate, offering increased privacy. Our attorneys are prepared to assist you in choosing the most suitable option for your needs.
