Estate Planning and Wills

Issaquah Estate Planning Lawyers

In the course of our more than four decades of serving people in Issaquah and King County, attorney Richard Holt and our firm have prepared more than 1000 estate plans. At Holt, Techentien & Kenn, our goal is to help individuals and families make plans that ensure that their wishes are followed and their assets are protected for future generations.

A Guiding Hand During Estate Planning

Attorneys Richard Holt, John Murphy and Kelly Kenn are honored to help people prepare their estate planning documents. We feel that our skill and knowledge can be of great benefit to our clients as we help them plan for unexpected incapacity and asset distribution after death.

We have significant experience in drafting and reviewing many types of estate planning documents, such as:

• Simple wills
• Advance health care directives, also called living wills
• Bypass trust planning with wills
• Revocable living trusts
• Irrevocable trusts
• Life insurance trusts
• Health care powers of attorney
• Finance powers of attorney
• Guardianships

Several of these documents should be carefully drafted so that a person's assets are distributed according to his or her wishes after death. Other documents help ensure that a person's wishes for medical care or financial decisions are followed if he or she is incapacitated and unable to make wise decisions.

Helping Draft Estate Plans That Preserve Your Right to Decide

After working hard for many years to build your estate, you want to make sure that your property, heirlooms and other assets are passed on to your selected beneficiaries. We can help you draft simple wills or trusts to ensure that this happens. We can also help you select a guardian for your minor children and set up trusts in case you are unable to care for them.

If you become terminally ill or incapacitated, you still have the right to decide what medical treatment or care you want. Our firm can help draft advance health care directives and powers of attorney that can ensure your wishes are followed or that a trusted person will make decisions according to your wishes.
