Trusts are a cornerstone of a solid estate plan, providing security for your loved ones and ensuring your wishes are honored. With trusts, you can dictate how and when your assets are distributed, avoid the delays of probate, and even minimize estate tax liability. From revocable living trusts to special needs trusts, we craft tailored solutions to protect what matters most. At Pathway Legal, we focus on creating flexible, legally sound trusts that grow with your needs, ensuring your path is always secure.

Asset protection planning is the process of taking assets that are vulnerable to creditors, predators, and lawsuits and positioning or repositioning them as assets that are less vulnerable or, ideally, are not vulnerable at all. We offer comprehensive asset protection planning, and are ready to answer your planning questions.

A Special Needs Trust safeguards the financial future of a loved one with special needs without affecting their eligibility for government benefits like Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This trust ensures funds are used to enhance their quality of life, covering expenses such as medical care, education, and personal needs while preserving critical support.

Guardianship and conservatorship are court-ordered roles allowing one person to make decisions on behalf of another who can't do so themselves. Guardians often manage personal or medical decisions; while conservators handle financial matters. These cases can be complex, but at Pathway Legal we simplify the process, and guide families through each step with clarity and care.

 This is a legal document outlining how a person’s assets and affairs will be handled after death. Creating a will serves as a safety net to ensure the proper representative is appointed on behalf of your estate and assets are distributed according to your wishes. 

A durable power of attorney allows you to appoint a trusted person to manage your financial affairs if you're unable to do so yourself. From paying bills to overseeing investments, this ensures your financial matters are handled according to your wishes, giving you peace of mind.

An advance directive and healthcare proxy ensure your medical preferences are honored when you’re unable to make decisions yourself. With these tools, you can outline your wishes for medical treatment and appoint someone you trust to act on your behalf.

A Special Warranty Deed provides a guarantee that the property title is free of defects or encumbrances only during the time the seller owned it. This ensures the seller will address any title issues arising from their period of ownership but does not cover prior owners. It's a practical solution for transferring property while offering limited protection.

Whether it’s updating your will, revising trusts, or navigating new circumstances, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
