Wills: The Cornerstone of Your Estate Plan

A last will and testament is an essential document for ensuring that your wishes are honored after your passing. Here’s what a will can do for you:
Name guardians for minor children:
Ensure your children are cared for by someone you trust.
Appoint an executor:
Designate someone responsible for managing your estate and carrying out your wishes.
Distribute assets:
Specify how your property, finances, and personal belongings should be divided.
Without a will, Virginia state law determines how your estate is distributed, which may not align with your intentions. Attorney Alex Mejias works closely with Alexandria clients to draft clear and enforceable wills that reflect their unique needs and wishes.
Trusts: Flexible, Private, and Powerful
Revocable Living Trusts
A revocable living trust is a powerful tool that provides flexibility and privacy. Unlike a will, which must go through the probate process, a trust allows your assets to pass directly to your beneficiaries, saving time, reducing costs, and maintaining confidentiality.
Key benefits of a revocable living trust include:
- Avoiding probate: Bypass the Virginia probate court to save time and money.
- Maintaining privacy: Keep the details of your estate and beneficiaries confidential.
- Planning for incapacity: Name a trusted individual to manage your assets if you’re unable to do so.
Specialized Trusts for Alexandria Clients
We offer a variety of trusts to meet your specific needs, including:
- Testamentary Trusts: Created through a will, these trusts provide asset protection for beneficiaries or ensure responsible management of inherited assets.
- Special Needs Trusts: Allows you to provide for a loved one with special needs without jeopardizing their eligibility for government benefits.
- Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts: Designed to hold life insurance policies, these trusts reduce estate tax liability by excluding the policy’s death benefit from your taxable estate.
At James River Law, we help Alexandria clients create and fund trusts to ensure they are fully functional and aligned with their estate planning goals.
Powers of Attorney: Preparing for Life’s Uncertainties
Life is unpredictable, but with the right documents in place, you can ensure that your wishes are followed if you are unable to make decisions for yourself. At James River Law, we help Alexandria clients prepare two essential types of powers of attorney:
- Durable Power of Attorney: Authorizes a trusted individual to handle financial matters, such as managing accounts, paying bills, or overseeing investments, in case of incapacity.
- Medical Power of Attorney: Appoints someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf, ensuring your medical preferences are respected.
Estate Attorney Alex Mejias will work with you to create powers of attorney that provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
