Gilson Law Firm PLLC

Estate planning is not just for the rich and famous; it's for everyone. And often, it is more helpful for folks with less or with the typical house, car, and savings to put their affairs in order. Whatever circumstance you find yourself in, choosing to finalize an estate plan now is one of the most important and loving gifts that you can give to those who are important to you. At Gilson Law, we can assist with the following planning documents:

• Will
• Revocable Living Trust
• Durable Power of Attorney 
• Medical Power of Attorney (Catholic or Christian version available)

Many factors play into an entrepreneur's decision of how to form a new business: flexibility, income taxes, asset protection, administration, and cost. We can advise you on how the various business entity structures you have to choose from handle each of these factors. Once you decide which business structure is best for you, Gilson Law can assist you in creating the following:

• LLC
• PLLC
• Sole proprietorship
• Corporation.

We can assist you in the preparation or review of the following: 

• Deeds (all kinds of them)
• Sales contract
• Release of lien
• Lease agreement
• Transfer on death deed

Additionally, if you are selling or buying a home and need a lawyer to draft the necessary legal documents or guide you through the sales process, we can help.

What happens to the property and debts of a loved one who passes away?  In most cases, heirs must take some type of legal action to get clear title to one's assets or address the debts one left behind.  Dealing with the loss of a loved one is difficult enough without having to figure these issues out on your own or stumbling through the probate court process. Allow our firm to lighten this burden for you. Gilson Law offers the following probate services for existing clientele:

• Probate of a Will (i.e., Letters Testamentary)
• Muniment of Title
• Small Estate Affidavit
• Affidavit of Heirship
• Determination of Heirship
