 | Proper planning ensures that in the event of your death, the things you
own will go to the right people, in the right amounts, at the right times,
with the least cost and delay. All these goals can be ascertained by proper
drafting of Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Advance Health Care Directive,
and Guardianships. |
| After discussing the client's specific situation The Law Office of Craig
Knaup will create a plan that specifically suits the needs of you and your
family. We recognize that our clients have different personal and financial
backgrounds that must be evaluated to insure that their assets are well
protected during their lifetime and beyond. |
| Some of the documents our office can draft for your needs are the
following: Will. The document
declares who shall inherit an individual’s assets (the beneficiaries) and who
shall be responsible for distributing them to such beneficiaries (the
executor).
A Power of Attorney. The document that
appoints an agent to protect one’s person and property in the event of
disability. Individuals, who become disabled mentally and do not have a power
of attorney, can only be protected by an expensive and humiliating procedure
known as a guardianship. There are various forms of Power of Attorneys
depending on a client's needs and preferences.
A Living Will. The document that set forth
one’s intentions in a situation where there is no reasonable hope of their
recovery or regaining a meaningful quality of life. The document states
the individuals preference on medical treatments and procedures if one is
unable to directly express their wishes.

| Also, our office will work in conjunction with our on staff accountants,
custodians and trustees when necessary. |
