Legal Services
Trust & Estates:
We recognize estate planning is a personal process, and the needs of each estate are as individual as each client. We will discuss your estate planning needs and goals, in order to create a custom plan, which may include drafting wills, trusts, or both to best accomplish your goals. Proper estate planning addresses both legal assets and health management issues during life as well as upon death. You will have peace of mind knowing you have addressed tax issues, minimized estate administration costs, and ensured your final wishes will be fulfilled. Estate planning packages include the drafting of living trusts, pour over wills, advanced health care directives, powers of attorney, and the transfer of real and personal properties into the trust.
Adoptions:
Adoption is the legal process by which one person becomes a lawful member of a family different from their birth family. Once a final order of adoption has been ruled by a court of law, the adoptive parents gain the same rights and responsibilities as parents whose children are born to them; subsequently, an adopted child gains the same rights as birth children in regard to inheritance, child support and other legal matters. We are experienced with the legal process of adoption, and as a result, we do not treat or regard it as simply a “process.”
Bolander Law Group can assist you with independent and stepparent adoptions. An independent adoption is one in which an agency is not involved and the birth parent(s) and the adoptive parents have a private arrangement for adoption. A stepparent adoption occurs when the stepmother or father of the child petitions to be the legal parent of the child.
