Todd M. Worswick proudly offers a full range of Wills and Estate Planning and Probate Attorney Services. One of the most overlooked but most important things EVERY person should do for his or her family is create a proper Last Will and Testament.

A Last Will and Testament is particularly important with blended families, minor children, special needs children and in order to avoid estate taxes. I have prepared wills for hundreds of Pierce County Washington area residents, and I have the knowledge and experience to make sure your wishes are honored upon death and your estate is protected. If you want to make sure people you have never met do not receive your assets, a Will is very beneficial. The present Washington state intestacy laws will not help if you want a specific person to receive a specific asset, nor will they address estate tax or long term care issues; and, intestacy laws cannot ensure your minor children are taken care of by the person you desire. Those issues can only be addressed through a detailed estate plan captured in a Will, trust or both

As part of my will and estate planning services, we can also prepare for you a Medical Power of Attorney and a Living Will. We can also advise you on how best to organize your non-probate assets, such as life insurance and retirement accounts so your family can, in many cases, avoid probate altogether.

Our Estate Planning Attorney and Probate Attorney Services Include:

• Simple Wills and Trusts
• Special Needs Trusts
• Supplemental Needs Trusts
• Living Trusts
• Living Wills/Health Care Directives
• Durable Powers of Attorney
• Medical Powers of Attorney

In addition to Washington Estate Planning and Probate Attorney Services, our practice areas also include Small Business Transactions and Contracts, Real Estate and Commercial Litigation, and Homeowners Association Matters.
