Estate Planning, Wills and Trusts, Probate, and Probate litigation
Brett M. Hill is an experienced Estate Planning Attorney. As he explains to his clients, a Will or a Trust are not effective parts of an Estate Plan if the client does not understand how they interact. A Will and Trust always have to coordinate with the Title on assets and the beneficiary designations. Brett has conducted seminars at the Senior Center and various churches as a public service so that people can understand the Benefits of an Effective Estate Plan and also will not be taken by the scam of "free seminars" that try to sell trust planning or expensive and unnecessary estate plans. Brett has experience with Tax Planning as well as planning for possible Medicaid consequences. Brett is also experienced in writing an effective Power of Attorney (Financial and Medical), Living Will (Advance Directive for Medical/Surgical Treatment), Marital Agreement ("Pre-nup" or "Post-nup" Agreement) or Trust.

Litigation
As much as possible a quality attorney will try to avoid the cost and stress of Litigation by mediation or by prevention of future Litigation through Well Written Contracts, Disclosures, Waivers, Wills and Trusts. Sometimes Litigation is unavoidable. Brett is experienced in Litigating the Validity of Wills and discovering the True Intent of a Decedent (the deceased person). Brett will take the time to discuss a case before proceeding to litigate. If Brett doesn't think there is a chance of winning he will not proceed just so the firm can earn money. Quality of service is much more important than how much money he earns as an attorney. Long term clients have come to trust Brett's opinion about whether or not they should proceed in Litigation.
Real Estate
Brett is both experienced and detail oriented in looking over Contracts in Buying or Selling Real Estate. The best way to avoid Litigation is to prevent it by foreseeing all possible consequences of a Poorly Written or Biased Contract and thus preventing future problems. Many of Brett's clients have him look over Contracts before they Buy or Sell any kind of Real Estate, whether it be their primary residence or property for their business. Brett often looks over Contracts and Agreements for his clients who own Businesses and are renting Business space. Many times he is able to point out problems with a Contract that may be unforeseeable to a Buyer or renter. Brett can assist you with understanding Property Easements and your rights when an Easement Purchase or Negotiation is at issue.

It is important to meet with an attorney so that your company will run efficiently, legally and without burdensome tax consequences.
