Estate Planning

Bethesda and Chevy Chase Estate Planning Lawyer

Estate planning could also be called asset protection and decision preservation. By creating documents during your life, you can pass on your assets to your heirs, as well as ensure that your wishes and decisions are followed if you become ill, disabled, or otherwise unable to make your own wise decisions.

At Jonathan C. Windle, P.C., in Bethesda, we are dedicated to helping people preserve their assets for the next generation through estate planning. We can draft effective, legally sound documents such as trusts and living wills to protect your assets, convey your wishes, and plan for your future and your children's futures.

Choosing the Right Estate Planning Tools

Mr. Windle can create estate planning documents that make plans for change, even dramatic change, as well as reflect recent changes. We can draft detailed trust documents to provide for your children and update existing wills and trusts to include children that were just born.

Our firm can explain the benefits and differences among the many types of estate planning documents, including:

  • Wills
  • Trusts
  • Living Wills
  • Prenuptial Agreements
  • Medical Directives
  • Powers of Attorney
  • Guardianships
  • Appointment of trustees for minor children

While many estate planning documents such as wills and trusts come into effect after your death when they are probated, others set up plans for your care if you become incapacitated. Living wills and medical directives help ensure that your choices for medical treatment and end-of-life care are followed by your family and doctors. As you and your family age, our firm can handle elder law issues related to estate planning and guardianships when needed.
