Michael R. Bascom, P.C., is a boutique estate planning, elder law, and probate/trust administration law firm. Our practice is limited to serving private clients in Georgia. We believe that proper planning is not merely a matter of providing cookie-cutter solutions to every problem. Nor is it simply reducing taxes or accurately filling out complicated legal forms.
It involves taking the time to get to know our clients personally, and then after understanding their unique situation and goals, providing them with caring, strategic solutions in simple, easy-to-understand language. We strive to empower our clients so that they can make the most informed decisions.

Attorney Mike Bascom devotes his practice to estate planning. He helps individuals and families achieve peace of mind by leaving their wealth to whomever they want, whenever they want, in the way they want, all with the least amount of governmental interference and taxation. His clients include retirees, young families with children, older families with aging parents, and entrepreneurs with business considerations.
Planning isn't just about money, dying and taxes; it's about love, independence, and peace of mind. Through proper planning you can stay in control and give what you have, to whomever you want, when you want and the way you want. Most people think estate planning is about money, avoiding estate taxes and protecting their assets.
We can handle each step of the trust administration process for you quickly, accurately and with minimal stress. Our role is to represent the successor Trustee in the administration of a decedent's trust. When a loved one passes away with a trust in place (or one created under a Will), there are number of steps that need to be taken for proper administration.
The 12 biggest threats to your well-being are: Creditors, Predators, Taxes, Divorce, Remarriage, Bankruptcy, Loss of Income, Nursing Home, Death, Disability, Ignorance, and Casualty Loss. The most effective protections are those that are put in place long before trouble strikes. Owning a second home or rental property puts all of your assets at risk without proper planning.
Probate is the court managed process where a deceased person's assets are distributed according to his or her will, after all taxes, expenses and debts are paid. Probate can be time consuming, frustrating, and stressful - particularly when you are grieving the loss of a loved one.
When a loved one passes away with just a Will their family will put the estate through a process called "Probate", or if there was no estate plan the process is called "Administration."
