Together, we will prepare you for these events, as well as get you through these times. Young families put an estate plan in place to make sure a Guardian is named for minor children in case something were to happen.

If you die without a Will, the State of Nebraska (through the state "intestate" laws) will tell your family what will happen to your assets. If you die without a Will and have minor children, your family will be forced to file a lawsuit to ask the court to appoint a guardian for them.
If you become incapacitated without a power of attorney, your family will need to hire an attorney to petition the court to appoint a "conservator" to manage your property and affairs, which can cost thousands of dollars.If something happens to your parents, are they prepared?

The Personal Representative must act in a fiduciary capacity, so avoid any transaction that will result in a conflict of interest between you and the estate. Remember that many activities such as the sale of real estate and the distribution of assets will require court approval. You will need to maintain and secure all assets.

According to a study from AARP, U.S. businesses lose up to an estimated $33.6 billion per year in lost productivity from full-time working caregivers. Some of this is attributed to a family not being properly prepared when their loved one needs care. They may spend hours as work researching what to do next or on the phone making arrangements.

Very positive experience. As a single father I wanted to make sure my daughters financial future is secure should anything happen to me. LeRoy answered all my questions and put my mind at ease during our consultation. Most importantly I was guided on a path that made sense for the needs of my family.

Profession, attentive to detail, and fast, I've very impressed with this firm. LeRoy wrote my will, and many associated documents with it. As you might imagine, the first pass did need a little work (thanks to reading it triggered thoughts in my own mind as to things I had not considered, not because of errors in the first draft), but one edit later and we were good for signing. I'm very happy with their work.

I worked with LeRoy Peterson to complete an estate plan. He was very responsive and understanding of my particular situation and concerns. He had solutions to suggest that achieved the goals I was trying to reach through the estate plan. I appreciate his helpful and friendly office staff. Using the client portal was very easy and an efficient way to communicate! I am confident that my assets are protected and will be accurately distributed to my beneficiaries. The pricing was very fair for the work completed and for the peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend!

Estate planning was something that was always on my ‘to do’ list and always the thing that got pushed to ‘I’ll do it later’. It just seemed like an overwhelming task. But LeRoy and his team walked me through everything and made it simple. Now my family is protected and a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Leroy made the estate planning process very easy. He explained everything in plain terms and answered questions I had without making me feel like I should already know the answer. It is such a relief to know everything is now in order and if something happens to my husband and me, my kids will be taken care of. The office staff was extremely friendly and helpful as well. If you have been putting off estate planning as long as I have, do yourself a favor and call Leroy Peterson to get it all done for you. You’ll feel much better.

Leroy Peterson Law did an outstanding job handling my mother's probate. LeRoy and Lisa are very knowledgeable and kind, provided clear guidance, and were timely and efficient. We had the additional complication of selling the family home before probate was closed, and that was handled seamlessly as well. My family and I were very pleased with the service and attention we received. It made a very difficult time less stressful. I highly recommend LeRoy Peterson Law for estate planning and probate services.
