Law Office of Arthur H. Baker III

Practice Area Overview

Our Estate Planning, Probate and Administration Practice

Our practice is focused on the needs of individuals and families interested in estate planning, estate administration or facing elder law issues. With 29 years of experience in these areas, we understand the difficult decisions and emotions often involved with planning for the future or making decisions after the passing of a loved one.

You may be interested in creating a will or trust to protect your assets or your loved ones, or designating who will make decisions on your behalf should you become unable to. You may have lost a loved one and have questions about how to proceed. You may be interested in obtaining a guardianship to protect the rights and financial interests of an elderly loved one. For more information, please contact The Law Office of Arthur H. Baker III for caring, dedicated legal counsel, grounded in nearly three decades of experience. 

Our firm is experienced in handling all of the following:

• Estate planning: When you make the decision to create a comprehensive estate plan, you are protecting your assets, your estate and your loved ones. We will take the time to advise you of all of your options and alternatives as you create your unique estate plan. We handle the organization and draft appropriate documentation of wills, trusts, including special needs trusts, irrevocable trusts, health care directives, living wills and durable power of attorney.
• Probate and estate administration: Whether you have been named the executor of an estate or the administrator, or you are a beneficiary with an interest in the execution of a will or trust, we can represent your interests in probate or estate administration. We are experienced in handling all aspects of the estate including collecting and distributing assets, handling personal and real estate, paying off debts and ensuring that all taxes are paid including estate tax, gift tax and inheritance tax. We can also represent your interest in a will contest or dispute.
• Elder law: Our elder law practice consists of all areas related to the estate planning for an elderly person or incompetence issues that require a court-ordered guardianship or invoke a preexisting power of attorney. Whether you are an elderly person considering your estate and future health care needs or you are seeking legal counsel regarding an elderly loved one, we can help you take immediate legal action to protect a loved one, an estate, or your personal or financial interests.
