Estate Plans, Wills & Trusts
Your estate plan is your final message. Let Newnam Land help you craft that message.
Estate planning is more than a who-gets-what process; it is your final statement to those you leave behind.
As you craft your message to loved ones, give careful consideration to the legacy that you want to leave.
Your final message is as
unique as you are
No two clients—and no two estates—are alike. Every individual brings a unique set of circumstances, values, and hopes for the people they leave behind. These personal details shape your legacy. At Newnam Land, we take the time to get to know you, understand the “why” behind your decisions, and ensure your estate plan communicates your intentions with clarity and care.
​
We know that your life doesn’t fit into a template—and your estate plan shouldn’t either. At Newnam Land, we go beyond one-size-fits-all solutions to create plans tailored to your needs, no matter the size of your estate.
​
We believe that effective estate planning is rooted in understanding. That’s why we explain the reasoning behind each element of your plan and how they work together to effectuate your wishes.

How we can help you
It is never easy to contemplate one’s demise, and it can be tempting to think, “I’ll be gone, what will it matter?” Unfortunately, a poorly planned estate can leave loved ones with a lot of uncertainty and chaos during some of their darkest hours.
​
Simple wills and on-line forms often do not contain the provisions necessary to address the specific needs of the people who use them. Further, a misunderstanding of how wills, trusts, and beneficiary designations work can result in assets not being distributed according to your wishes, which can cause confusion and chaos. This can affect your loved-ones’ final memory of you, leading to misunderstandings and hurt feelings. And the worst part is, there is nothing you can do at that point to explain your choices. The attorneys at Newnam Land can help you formulate and execute an estate plan that accurately reflects your final wishes and helps to ease the burden on loved ones.
​
No estate plan is complete without actively addressing issues that arise as you age. Without carefully considered powers of attorney and directives, your loved ones may not have the ability to assist with your financial and medical matters if you need help or are incapacitated. The types and scope of authorities you should allow must be thoughtfully determined to address your specific situation. Newnam Land discusses these issues with you and guides you in making choices that are right for you and your family.
