David O.
Client
“I have known Holland at Evergreen for many years. I had her do my estate planning and end-of-life documents. I didn’t think much of it prior, and then once I had it done, it was just really reassuring knowing that everything was in place. We talked about my needs and what I wanted to go where, and I have more confidence in knowing what’s going to happen with my assets when I pass.”
Colleen M.
Client
“My mom passed away suddenly, and I found myself in a place having absolutely no idea where to start or what to do. I called Evergreen Law offices, and they completely took over from there. Time and time again, I have seen people end up in nursing homes, spending their entire life savings that they had intended to go to their children or grandchildren, and instead, it’s eaten up by their costs of care.
When something so simple like coming to Evergreen Estate & Elder Law and having them make the transition very smooth. They listen intently, they zero in on what you’re looking for and what your needs are. They put it all together for you in a nice little package, making the entire process of probate very easy for me, and I trust them implicitly.”
Toni S.
Client
“Anything could happen when you’re away from your own children and we just wanted to feel secure that we had a plan. I worked with Holland and her assistant, and we immediately felt comfortable and relaxed through the process. It’s a lot of deep questions and planning, and my husband and I could kind of bounce ideas off each other—get each other’s opinions—when making these decisions. We just felt like it was more of a conversation and not an interview, and we felt comfortable during the whole process.”
David L.
Client
“I’ve known Holland most of her life, and she genuinely cares about people.”
Susan L.
Client
“You know, I never thought I was going to get old, and it was a shock to me that you have to make sure that you have all your ducks in a row. It’s hard because it’s not something that most people really understand. I brought my things in that were important to me, what kind of money I had, and what I wanted to do with my money. It was just relieving to know that I didn’t leave things wide open for my children and my family—that I had made those decisions beforehand.”
FAQs
Have questions about estate planning, asset protection, or probate? Our FAQ covers the essentials, helping you understand how tools like wills, trusts, and Powers of Attorney can protect your future and simplify decisions for your loved ones.
What is the purpose of a will?
A will allows you to specify how your assets should be distributed after your passing, name guardians for minor children, and appoint an executor to handle your estate.
How can a trust benefit my estate plan?
A trust provides a way to manage your assets during your lifetime and ensure they’re distributed efficiently after your death, to avoid probate and protect your privacy.
Why is having a Power of Attorney important?
A Power of Attorney appoints someone you trust to make financial or healthcare decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so, protecting your interests and ensuring your wishes are honored. Having Powers of Attorney in place avoids court-appointed guardianship.
How can I protect my assets from long-term care costs?
Through Medicaid planning and other asset protection strategies, you can safeguard your savings while still qualifying for government benefits to cover long-term care.
When is probate necessary?
Probate is required when a person passes away without a trust or with assets that were not transferred to heirs outside of the court process. It ensures legal distribution of assets but can be time-consuming without proper planning.
Do I need an estate plan if I don’t have a large estate?
Yes! Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy—it helps ensure your wishes are followed, avoids unnecessary legal issues for your loved ones, and provides peace of mind for everyone involved.
