Everyone has an estate plan, but if you do not establish your own, the government will establish it for you. This can result in miles of red tape, endless frustration, and ultimately, an incredibly difficult experience during an already stressful time. Creating a comprehensive plan will enable your freedom to protect yourself and your loved ones in the event of disability, incapacity, or death. Our goal at Demarest & Demarest LLC is to help you navigate difficult subjects with ease. With every person and business we help, we hope to lay a foundation for a more prosperous community. Currently, our practice focuses on estate planning, Medicaid planning, elder law, probate services, and business law, but we are hoping to grow to expand our practice in the future. We can assist you in creating a long-term plan for health care and receiving public benefits, as well as any other changes that come with aging. You should not spend your time worrying about you or a loved ones’ future. Let us handle the planning process while you spend your time with loved ones, friends, and family. If you need help navigating the probate process, we can help with that, too. We can relieve the stresses of probate court and guide you through the process as painlessly as possible. Along with our expertise in elder law and estate planning, we have extensive knowledge of business law. When forming a business or maintaining a current one, we recommend consulting with someone who knows the ropes of small business law and can guide you through legal matters like taxes or any other issues that may arise. At Demarest & Demarest LLC, our goal is to assist our clients with efficiency, kindness, and understanding. We look forward to serving you!
