Practice Areas
Below is an overview of the core areas in which Christopher advises clients. If your situation involves one of these, or even if it falls somewhat outside, he’s prepared to guide you intelligently and compassionately.
Estate Planning & Asset Protection
Estate planning is much more than drafting a will. It’s a holistic process of protecting your assets, preserving your legacy, and ensuring your loved ones are cared for on your terms. Christopher works closely with clients to develop plans that may include:
- Wills
- Revocable and irrevocable trusts
- Powers of attorney
- Advance healthcare directives & living wills
- Guardianship planning
- Strategies to protect assets from long-term care spend-down
- Planning for special needs beneficiaries
Probate & Trust Administration
When a loved one passes on or a trust must be administered, the responsibilities fall to the executor, personal representative, or trustee. These tasks can be emotionally and legally complicated. Christopher provides experienced counsel to help clients through every step, including:
- Navigating probate court filings
- Identifying, valuing, and collecting assets
- Resolving creditor claims
- Distributing property to beneficiaries
- Trust accounting, reporting, and compliance
- Conflict resolution
- Ensuring compliance with fiduciary duties
Christopher is committed to helping executors and trustees fulfill their obligations properly and efficiently, reducing stress and preventing costly mistakes.
