Estate Planning

Why Choose Modlin Legal?

  1. Free initial consultation, whenever possible
  2. Flat fees, whenever possible
  3. As much or as little support as YOU need to get YOUR estate plan complete

Components Of An Estate Plan

A typical estate plan consists of four documents:

  1. “The will” is where you nominate who will raise your minor children. Without it, the judge will decide who will raise them, and your ex-spouse, if you have one, will be managing their inheritance. (Read more here or watch this video.)
  2. “The revocable trust” is what will keep your real and personal property (worth $166,250 or more) out of probate, saving your loved ones months of bureaucratic agony, and tens of thousands of dollars. A trust will also ensure that your 19 year old children don’t spend their inheritance on a new Ferrari. (Read FAQs or watch our videos to learn more.)
  3. “The Power of Attorney” allows you to choose a person who will pay your bills while you are incapacitated. This way, you won’t find your house in foreclosure when you get better. (Here’s a video with more information.)
  4. “The Health Care Directive” allows you to specify your wishes relating to life support, among other things. That way, your relatives won’t keep you on it while they try to figure out what to do with you. (Read here or watch this video to learn more.)

TESTIMONIALS

Let me start by saying I would have given Marina more stars if it was possible!

Prior to meeting with Marina, I had reached out to a couple of other attorneys.  They had given me some fat folders with a ton of forms to fill out.  After a year, I contacted Marina and realized her approach was totally different.

We met with her 2 times! The first time she took her notes based on the questions she asked us and then gave us some light homework.  I emailed her the responses and then we met to go over the entire living trust she had prepared.  There were only a few minor modifications that were taken care of during that session.  That was it!

She is the most professional and caring attorney which I would trust to reach out to for any question or recommendation.  I have always recommended Marina to my friends.  Just contact her for a consultation and you won’t regret it.

I was referred to Modlin Legal by my financial planner and what a great match.

Marina is so easy to talk to, very professional and made it very comfortable to deal with a sensitive topic.

If you’re looking for someone to get your assets in order, Marina is someone I highly recommend. Don’t wait as taking care of your will and trust is such a relief!
