Our Estate Planning Legal Team Helps Protect Your Loved Ones
Many people “naturally” put off estate planning because they believe they do not have significant assets or wish to avoid our “eventuality.” However, estate planning goes beyond just material goods. Planning ahead will ensure your home does not go into probate, sometimes protects your children from the need to obtain a conservatorship for an aging or infirm parent with mandatory accountings to the court, and can save your family countless hours of frustration during the grieving process. Hawaii Convey can offer the guidance you need to begin this important life milestone and assist you with the “mindful process” of preparing an “estate planning binder” that contains “legal tools” that will leave your “loved ones” thanking you after you are gone (or even before)!
Comprehensive Estate Planning for All Stages of Life
Estate planning goes beyond securing your home and leaving your assets to your loved ones “when you go.” Hawaii Convey offers the following services to help ensure you and your family’s needs are taken care of during all of life’s difficulties:
- Preparation of a revocable living trust and last will and testaments
- Preparation of financial powers of attorney and medical powers of attorney which operate during your lifetime
- Transfer your Hawaii real property to your revocable living trust to avoid a future probate
- Personalized guidance to ensure your revocable living trust is properly funded for any eventuality and help you select a “proper successor trustee”
- Referrals to the appropriate professionals for your financial well-being
- For families who have experienced loss, we offer a thorough trust/probate estate administration to ensure your loved ones’ wishes are followed
Probate and Estate Administration
If your loved one passed without a revocable living trust or without properly funding his/her revocable living trust, you may need to open probate. Hawaii Convey’s experienced legal team can assist you with your probate needs:
- We offer a thorough review of your loved one’s assets and documentation to ensure the appropriate probate procedures are followed
- Preparation and filing of your probate documents
- Transfer of Hawaii real property according to the decedent’s wishes or pursuant to State of Hawaii intestacy statutes
- We also assist out-of-state personal representatives/executors who need to open an Ancillary Probate or Acknowledgment of Authority to deal with Hawaii situs properties
Trust Litigation
Families can often be difficult, especially in a small state like Hawai’i, where a family’s home can represent a significant value (often valued at over 1 million dollars) to future beneficiaries. If you have concerns that a relative’s trust is not being properly administered, or you are a trustee and are being sued by a fellow trustee or beneficiary, Hawaii Convey can assist with your trust-related legal needs:
- Preparation of trust petitions and appropriate responsive court pleading
- Personalized guidance throughout each step of the litigation process
- Preparation for and participation in settlement discussions and mediations
