Practice Area Descriptions

We engage in all forms of estate planning -- from the preparation of traditional wills and revocable living trusts -- to more complicated planning, such as irrevocable life insurance trusts, family limited partnerships, intentionally defective irrevocable trusts, and business succession planning. We also create plans utilizing lifetime gifting programs, charitable trusts, private foundations, grantor retained annuity trusts, and generation-skipping transfer tax planning.

Our plans typically go beyond standard estate tax planning and wealth transfer, and offer asset protection options for generations to come.

At Lennington Law Firm, PLLC, we consider each client unique. And because of this:

• We listen carefully to your personal goals and desires;
• We evaluate the nature and size of your estate; and
• We offer advice specifically tailored to your objectives.

In short, we guide our clients through every stage of the process.

After a client's death, we assist the decedent's family, the trustees of family trusts, and the personal representative of the decedent's estate in administering the affairs of the estate. From representing the estate in court, to overseeing the property of the estate, we are both experienced and skilled in assisting at all stages of estate and trust administration.

Elder Law

Elder Law is one of the fastest growing areas of law. Interestingly, it is perhaps the only area of law defined by the "clients we serve" rather than the areas of law we practice. The legal problems faced by our more mature clients are wide-ranging, and typically include:

• Long-term care planning, Medical Assistance and asset protection planning;
• Medicare, managed care, and payment for health care;
• Disability planning, including guardianships and conservatorships;
• Financial and health care decision-making through the use of durable powers of attorney and health care directives;
• End-of-life decision-making;
• Traditional probate and estate planning; and
• Trust creation and administration
