Safeguard Your Legacy

Choose Your Legacy Planning Priorities

What’s in a Legacy Plan, and more importantly, why should you have one? Your Legacy Plan will likely contain a variety of documents, each carefully crafted specifically for you by our dedicated Legacy Planning Attorneys. At McLure & Associates, we understand that building a legacy is a profoundly important journey. No matter what your current financial or family situation, protecting a future for you, your life’s work, and your loved ones is our passion. That’s why we offer comprehensive estate planning services tailored to meet the needs of families throughout Alabama. If you need more information please give us a call and we will be glad to help.

Last Will and Testament

Do you have specific property you’d like to go to specific loved ones at your death? How about minors or special-needs children who will need a guardian if anything should happen to you? Do you want to leave something to Church or charity? Don’t let the State decide who gets your property and your kids. You can care for them yourself by making a last will and testament with us.

Powers of Attorney

We all take pride in managing our own affairs, but what happens if we can’t? If you ever lose capacity to make your own decisions, a Power of Attorney can make all the difference between your affairs proceeding normally or spiraling out of control. Appoint a trusted Agent to manage your affairs for you, and rest easy, knowing that you’ve got it covered in any eventuality.

Trusts

From funding children’s education, to caring for a special-needs child long after you’re gone, to ensuring that the old Homeplace stays in the family for the next few generations, Trusts can be used to reach a mind-boggling range of Legacy Planning goals. Avoid the Probate process and costs, shelter assets from estate and Gift taxation, and more with a custom-designed Trust.

Advanced Healthcare Directives

Who will make decisions for your health and welfare in your later days or if you are hospitalized? Do you want the nurses and doctors deciding whether you are given nutrition and hydration according to hospital policy, or do you want to plan now to empower your family or maybe a close friend to advocate for your life, health, and medical needs?

Everybody knows going to the hospital requires a lot of forms to fill out. Do you really want to wait until you are in a hospital gown to read and pars through the hospital’s pre-printed Durable Healthcare Power of Attorney and Advanced Medical Directive handed to you on a clipboard? Don’t wait to choose two important things: first, who will make those decisions on your behalf if you have to go into surgery or are unconscious; and second, what medical and health services will be given to you in your time of need and what will be withheld.
