Lynnwood, Bellevue, Seattle-Area Attorneys
The law firm of Hickman Menashe, P.S. helps people plan for their future and the futures of their loved ones and find legal solutions when a crisis strikes. Contact us to discuss your legal situation.
We are committed to professional, compassionate legal help when planning for one's estate or care.
We counsel our clients with wills, trusts and estate planning and incapacity planning. Incapacity planning involves the preparation of documents that will place your care, in the event of your incapacity, in the hands of persons of your choosing, and outside the hands of the courts. A well-drawn estate plan will prevent confusion and discord among heirs, and will provide for the distribution of your assets to the persons, charities and institutions in the way you want with the least cost.
We advise our clients regarding long-term care and Medicaid planning. Long-term care planning marshals the financial wherewithal necessary for living accommodations and care as one becomes less able to care for oneself. Medicaid planning can, especially after needs become evident, be a part of long-term care planning and can allow clients facing long-term illness to improve their quality of life by accessing government benefits, which can provide for basic care needs, while allowing their family members to use preserved funds to supplement and enhance their care.
Disabled people, themselves, as well as relatives of disabled persons of all ages come to us for advice regarding the drafting and administration of special needs trusts. These trusts shield assets so that a person may benefit from the assets, yet remain eligible for government assistance.
Our probate and estate administration practice helps the relatives of decedents pay the decedent's debts and distribute estate assets in an orderly and timely fashion.
When people become unable to manage their own affairs, we help a relative, or other concerned person, establish and administer guardianships. A guardianship provides for appropriate life care and the proper investment and use of assets.
Trustees come to use for assistance in trust administration. A trustee must comply with the trust's provisions and must see to it that assets are properly invested and spent.
At Hickman and Menashe, P.S., Bill and Jacob have devoted their careers to helping people and helping legal caretakers. Contact our office to make an appointment to discuss your estate and caretaking needs with us.
