ESTATE PLANNING
Be prepared and ease the mind of those who follow in your footsteps. Heidi’s time in the Coast guard instilled the core values of preparedness and dedication to service of others. Estate planning is more than just a will, it is a will, a trust, a health care directive and power of attorney (sometimes called a “Living Will”), and a financial power of attorney. An estate plan is like insurance – it allows you to sleep at night knowing that your affairs are in order and your loved ones are cared for in the unlikely event of severe injury, disease, or death. Baxter Law does not believe in cookie-cutter wills and focuses on each client’s specific circumstances, needs and desires with compassion. If you have any questions about what your estate planning needs may be or about Washington State’s laws on intestacy (dying without a will), please contact us at 206.412.0116 or info@baxter-law.com. Our goal is to make sure everyone can have an estate plan! The rest is up to you.

Please, especially if you have young children, think about making a will or trust to ensure that they are cared for in the way that you would want them to be cared for in the event of your death or incapacity.

PROBATE
The death of a loved one can be a challenging time for all. Baxter Law wants to help relieve the burdens of death and assist you through the probate process in an efficient and affordable manner.

There are many probate options based on the size of the deceased person’s estate. If you have any questions about which probate process, if any, is necessary for your loved one or how to avoid probate before death, please contact Baxter Law at 206.412.0116 or info@baxter-law.com.
