Decatur Wills & Estate Planning Attorney
Helping You Plan for the Future & Protect Your Loved Ones in Decatur
Planning for your death, a loved one's death, or your incapacitation is not easy, but it is a necessary part of planning for the future. An estate plan is a comprehensive package of documents that includes a will and two powers of attorney, one for finances and the other for medical care.
Estate planning is important at all stages of life, and an estate plan should be updated regularly under the guidance of an experienced Decatur trust and estate planning lawyer.
A good rule of thumb is to revisit your estate plan anytime there is a major life change.
Did you experience any of the following major life events? You may need to update your estate plan.
- Marriage
- Divorce
- New home purchase
- Relocation to a new state
- Birth
- Significant change in assets, such as in inheritance

What Is a Will?
A will is a legal document that expresses the desires of the author regarding the disposition of his or her property upon the author's death.
A will can also be used to create a testamentary trust for the benefit of minor children or others. Every estate plan, regardless of its sophistication, should include a will.
Your will is your way of ensuring your loved ones are properly taken care of after your death and your way of ensuring your property is allocated as you requested. It is essential to have your will drafted properly so that in the event of your death, your wishes can and will be enforced by the probate court.
Our Decatur wills attorneys at Gibbs Tillery understand that planning for your death can be difficult, but is critical to carrying out your wishes. We will safeguard your interests and desires by drafting an effective and precise will for your specific needs.
