Life is full of uncertainties, and ensuring your loved ones are cared for after you’re gone is one of the most thoughtful decisions you can make. At Jackman Law Firm, we’ve been helping families navigate challenging times since 2014. Our commitment to serving families now extends to Denver, where we’re here to guide you through the process of estate planning with compassion and clarity.

Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy or elderly; it’s a crucial step for anyone who wants to provide peace of mind and financial security for their family. Whether you’re new to the concept or looking to update your existing plan, this page will walk you through the essentials and show how we can help.

Key Components of Estate Planning

Building a strong estate plan means covering all the bases to ensure your family’s future is secure. Here are the key elements we focus on:

Wills: Outline how your assets should be distributed and name guardians for minor children.
Trusts: Provide flexibility in managing and distributing your property, whether through revocable or irrevocable options.
Power of Attorney: Designate a trusted person to manage your financial or legal affairs if you’re unable to do so.
Healthcare Directives: Ensure your medical preferences are known and respected in case of incapacity.
Asset Protection: Shield your assets from potential risks, such as creditors or lawsuits.
Tax Planning: Minimize the tax burden on your estate to preserve more for your loved ones.
Business Succession Planning: Help business owners transition their operations smoothly.
Medicaid Planning: Protect assets while ensuring eligibility for important benefits.

Each of these components serves a unique purpose, and together, they create a comprehensive plan that provides security and peace of mind for you and your family. Below, we outline the specific services we offer in Denver to bring these components to life.

Estate Planning Services We Offer in Denver

Estate planning ensures your wishes are honored and your family is protected. At Jackman Law Firm, we provide a full range of services to help Denver families secure their future with confidence and ease.

Wills

A will is the cornerstone of any estate plan. It allows you to decide who inherits your belongings and ensures your wishes are followed. We’ll work with you to create a will that reflects your goals and protects your family.

Trusts

Trusts can offer more flexibility and control than a simple will. Whether you need a revocable trust that adapts to changing circumstances or an irrevocable trust for tax benefits, we’ll help you determine what fits your needs best.

Probate Assistance

Probate can be a time-consuming and emotionally draining process. We guide families through Colorado’s probate system, simplifying the process and easing the burden.

Estate Administration

Being named an executor comes with many responsibilities. From settling debts to distributing assets, we’re here to provide the guidance needed to fulfill this role with confidence.

Power of Attorney

This document lets you appoint someone you trust to manage your affairs if you’re unable to. We’ll help you set up a power of attorney that ensures your wishes are carried out.

Healthcare Directives

A healthcare directive communicates your medical preferences if you can’t speak for yourself. It’s an essential part of planning for the unexpected.

Additional Services

Asset Protection: Shield your wealth from potential creditors.
Tax Planning: Reduce tax burdens and preserve more of your estate for your heirs.
Business Succession Planning: Ensure a smooth transition for your business.
