Seattle Attorney Creating Wills and Trusts for People With Disabilities
Snohomish County | North King County | Island County | Skagit County | Statewide
There's a popular myth that only the wealthy need to create wills and trusts. The reality is that virtually every adult, rich or not, benefits from the creation of a will. It gives legal form to your wishes for what happens to your possessions when you are gone. A living will also protects you if you become incapacitated.
If you receive Social Security disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) back payments, you might have a sizable sum requiring the secure protection of a trust. A knowledgeable estate-planning lawyer knows which specific forms and language to use to help prevent family disputes over assets and how to make sure your desires for long-term medical needs or incapacity are carried out.

Why Do I Need a Will?
Even if you have a small, non-taxable estate, you and your heirs can benefit from the guidance a will provides. A will helps you distribute property, and if you have minor children, it names a guardian for them.
Even if you have written out your desires for your estate and your children, the state of Washington has very specific laws setting standards for a legal, valid will. A skilled attorney can help you make sure your wishes are fulfilled with a clearly worded, legally secure will or trust.
