Wills & Estate Planning

We invite you to discover how personal attention to your legal needs makes all the difference.

Lawrence & Jurkiewicz, LLC are wills & estate planning attorneys in Avon and Torrington, Connecticut who are prepared to assist you in drafting a will and/or developing an estate plan which precisely reflects your intent.

If you pass without a will, then the laws of intestacy will control how your property will be distributed, and a probate judge, instead of a person you know and trust, will "call the shots". If you already have a will, events which have occurred since you signed the will (like births, deaths, marriages, divorces, loss or gain of assets or liabilities, special needs or financial circumstances of beneficiaries, or your own change of mind) may render the will outdated and obsolete, and the effect of the will may no longer be what you intended. Your will should be periodically reviewed and updated.

For many people, a straightforward estate plan, centered around a revocable living trust, offers the possibility of avoiding probate, and the delay, expense, and increased opportunity for litigation that goes with it, all while you retain complete control of your assets during your lifetime!

You should also have a living will to allow a trusted relative or friend to make your health care decisions, should you become unable to make such decisions for yourself. Having a living will can provide peace of mind if you are scheduled for surgery, have major travel plans, etc.
