Glatstein & O'Brien LLP — Denver, Colorado
Because Colorado uses an informal probate system, trusts are not the absolute necessity they are in some other states. Wills remain the most cost-effective estate planning tool available to individuals and families in Colorado.
If you've decided to draft a last will and testament, review and update an existing will, or if you have recently moved here and would like to have your estate plan reviewed for compliance with Colorado state law— contact an experienced estate planning lawyer at Glatstein & O'Brien LLP.
What Should Be Included in a Will?
First, wills should name someone to manage the process of identifying and inventorying assets, paying off creditors, and distributing the remaining assets to your beneficiaries according to your wishes. In legal terms, this individual is called an executor or personal representative. In real terms, it's someone you trust to handle your affairs with integrity and even-handedness.
Young families may also want to consider living wills and issues of guardianship and conservatorship in the event that one or both spouses become incapacitated. Additionally, families with children should name someone to act as their children's guardian and conservator in the event of the death of both spouses. Our attorneys, Carl Glatstein and Marcie O'Brien, each have many years experience helping individuals and families draft their wills. As a result, they can answer any questions you may have and help you to identify specific items or concerns that need to be addressed in your will.
New to Colorado?
If your will was drafted by an attorney in another state, it may need to be changed or amended in some way. Our firm reviews and revises wills of all types for people in the Denver area and throughout Colorado as well.
