Hartney Law believes in personalized service for each and every client. Our approach is educational and proactive – we first determine each client’s individual needs, desires, and values, and then tailor their plan to best fulfill their dreams.
Moms and Dads in the original relationship that brought their darling boys and girls into the world. Whether you were married or are a common law couple (you might be and not even know it!), you probably have questions about what would happen to your kids if something happened to you.
Moms and Dads living on their own have special needs when it comes to protecting their kids and providing for them. Whether there’s a co-parent or not, single parents should take the time to understand what could happen in an emergency. We can give you the information you need to make sure you’re comfortable with your plans.
When step-parents, kids and siblings are involved, even more intention is required when planning. Blended families may need marital and property agreements to help ensure that all children are cared for while also providing for spouses.
Today's families are rarely simple anymore. Often more than two generations or non-consecutive generations live together. Grandparents, kids, grandkids and beyond should all be considered in these circumstances.
Moms and Moms, Dads and Dads! Mom, Mom and Dad! Because your rights aren't fully recognized everywhere (yet), it's vital that you protect your loved ones using as many estate planning tools as possible. We can help you determine the most effective layered protections available and put your plan into place so you never have to worry about being lost in the fray.
If you or your partner, or both, are not U.S. citizens, you have unique child custody and gift/estate tax issues that require specific attention beyond what other couples may encounter. We can help you navigate these complexities so you can rest easy that your family would be provided for and children cared for by the guardians you choose in this or your country of origin.
Business planning for maximum tax relief and liability protection is critical to your business and your life. In addition, most small business owners have not considered what would happen to their life's work if something happened to them. Your business needs "estate" planning too (it's just called business succession planning instead).
Doctors, lawyers, accountants, any profession at risk of litigation for malpractice could benefit from advanced asset protection strategies that we can help you build right away. A critical issue in asset protection is making sure it's in place before it's ever needed.
Have you been named as a trustee or a personal representative (executor) for someone else? Acting as a trustee is a big responsibility. Take it seriously and get the support you need to do the job right. We can help you get and stay organized, understand your responsibilities and fulfill your fiduciary duties.
Has your loved one named you as their agent under a Power of Attorney? Do you know what you need to know to wield that power with care and diligence? Your best bet is to get counsel on what that power means, what it can and cannot do, and how to use it wisely.
