                        Estate Planning Services We Provide

                        Estate planning is more than just drafting documents — it’s about creating a legally sound plan that reflects your intentions and protects the people you care about most. We help clients build plans that fit their financial goals, family structure, and long-term wishes.

                        Last Will & Testament

                        A will is the foundation of any estate plan. What it most often determines is who will receive your property, who will serve as executor of your estate, how personal belongings, heirlooms, and assets are distributed, and other important financial and family matters. Without a valid will under Alabama law, state law will determine how your assets pass (known as “intestacy”), which may not reflect your wishes. 

                        If you need will preparation services, contact Kowalchyk Law, LLC, today. Attorney Kowalchyk will work tirelessly to ensure your will is clear, enforceable, and tailored to your needs.

                        Powers of Attorney

                        Generally, a power of attorney allows someone you trust to make decisions for you if you become unable to act. Common examples of these and related documents are a durable financial power of attorney, a healthcare power of attorney, and an advance directive/living will. These documents can help avoid court intervention and ensure your preferences are honored.

                        Trust Planning

                        Trusts can provide flexibility, privacy, and protection. Generally, trusts in Alabama are governed by Alabama state statute. Trusts can help avoid probate, protect assets, provide long-term care for loved ones, and streamline estate distribution.

                        Estate Planning

                        One of the most crucial elements of estate planning is ensuring that your assets–the result of your life’s work, and perhaps that of your ancestors–are protected and distributed in accordance with your wishes. You need a lawyer to help tailor your estate plan to your situation, focusing on protecting your assets, minimizing disputes, simplifying administration, preserving family property, and providing for your loved ones. At Kowalchyk Law, LLC, Attorney Kowalchyk is here to provide just that. We can evaluate your situation and recommend strategies to safeguard your assets, preferences, and interests.

                        Estate Litigation Services We Provide

                        Sometimes, estate matters become contested. Emotions can run high, and disagreements may arise among beneficiaries, heirs, or executors. Kowalchyk Law, LLC, handles:

                        Will Contests

                        A will contest is when someone challenges in court that a will is not a valid will, whether because of undue influence, lack of testamentary capacity, fraud or coercion, improper execution of the will, will revocation, or other grounds. The result of these cases can have drastic effects on the decedent’s estate. So, it is important that you have a skilled, knowledgeable attorney on your side. If you are an executor defending a valid will or an heir questioning its validity, and need legal counsel, contact Kowalchyk Law, LLC, today.

                        Executor or Trustee Disputes

                        Executors and trustees must follow legal duties, and failure to do so can lead to disputes. If you are an executor, trustee, or beneficiary of a will or trust and need legal counsel, contact Kowalchyk Law, LLC, today to schedule your consultation.

                        Heir Disputes

                        Sometimes heirs disagree about property, sentimental items, land, or distribution. If you are an heir or a beneficiary of a will or trust and facing a dispute over a distribution or disbursement, contact Kowalchyk Law, LLC, today to see how we can help.
