Estate Planning

Seasoned Alabama Estate Planning Attorneys

Estate planning and asset protection are about helping you take control of your life. At Stone, Granade & Crosby, P.C., our lawyers know what questions to ask and how to help find the answers. We draft wills, complicated and simple, powers of attorney, trusts, life insurance trusts, guardianships and conservatorships. Living wills, advance healthcare directives, powers of attorney and irrevocable and revocable trusts help people ensure that, if they ever become unable to manage their own affairs, things will be run according to their wishes. It is important to have a clearly drafted plan in place as soon as possible. Don’t leave your loved ones wondering. Ambiguity and doubt can make difficult situations even worse. Let us help you form the plan that fits your circumstances best.

There are many ways in which you can protect your assets.  Selecting the proper combination of wills, trusts, gifts, and other devices to limit your estate tax liability and still give you the solution you want, can be difficult.  It helps to have experience dealing with these issues.  Our lawyers can help you navigate the many options to arrive at the best situation for you.

Our litigation team has extensive experience representing our clients’ interests in will contests and cases of a breach of fiduciary duty by a trustee, administrator or executor. We have a strong record of success in dealing with the IRS when questions of valuation of assets arise. When an estate is not being handled properly, it is important to have a strong, experienced advocate defending your rights.
