Our practice focuses broadly on the varied needs of individuals and families as they prepare for the future. At Spano Dawicki & Witt, you can trust that our attorneys will take an individualized approach to your case, developing comprehensive planning solutions that will address your immediate and future needs. We provide compassionate, dignified support in a comfortable environment where clients can feel open to expressing any questions or concerns.

Elder Law & Estate Planning

Elder law is a growing and evolving area of practice, and our law firm continues to be at the forefront, leading its development.

Because your needs and life circumstances change, our lawyers will work directly with you to create an estate plan to meet your needs at your stage in life.

We often represent newly married couples or those who have recently welcomed a child and need help creating a will for the first time. As life continues, it is sometimes necessary to modify an existing estate plan after a death in the family, a divorce or other significant life change. With retirement planning, there are often a number of issues related to protecting assets and planning for future generations.

Even without a life-changing event, an estate plan should be reviewed every couple of years to ensure that it is still relevant and that the terms still apply to your current circumstances.

Probate

If you are assigned as the personal representative or the executor of an estate after the loss of a loved one, it is important to seek qualified legal counsel. You will be responsible for an accurate accounting of the estate as well as proper administration. At Spano Dawicki & Witt, LLC, our legal team has the necessary experience to protect your interests and the integrity of an estate throughout the probate process.

The probate process can be complex, so it is important to have a clear understanding of your rights as well as your obligations. Our attorneys will take a comprehensive approach, review your interests as an executor or beneficiary, and ensure the timely and proper administration of the estate.
