Wills and Trusts
A good estate plan is an integral part of any good financial plan. We offer people the peace of mind that comes with helping you create and implement a plan for your estate. We listen to your wants and desires, and we structure a plan that provides you with the greatest security to meet your needs in the simplest but most efficient and effective way.
Whether you are single, a family with young children, or in your later years planning for retirement and your golden years, we can help you create a plan so that your loved ones (and not the government) end up with your assets after your death. We also prepare Powers of Attorney and Advanced Health Care Directives.
​
Probate and Estate Administration
While a good estate plan lessens the likelihood of having to probate your estate, there are some estates that require probating. Whether the estate involves a Will (i.e., a testate estate) or no Will (i.e., an intestate estate), let our experience in handling the estate proceedings work for you. As a Mississippi estate and probate attorney, we regularly handle estates for families who need to work through the business of closing the final business affairs of your loved one.
Real Estate
Having practiced real estate law for more than 18 years, we routinely handle matters that are important to protecting your investment in real property. Whether it is the drafting of a deed, the preparation of an easement, the preparation of covenants, the review and representation of you in drafting a real estate contract, or a real estate dispute, we can help you.
Business Set-ups and Corporate Law
We regularly form limited liability companies, corporations, limited partnerships and general partnerships, and draft operating agreements, bylaws, and partnership agreements for our clients. We also represent people entering into and leaving their businesses, and serve as general counsel for businesses. Additionally, we regularly serve as registered agents and handle the annual filings necessary with the Mississippi Secretary of State to keep the businesses in good standing.
General Civil Litigation
We handle a wide variety of cases involving civil litigation, both from the plaintiffs and defense side. Our courtroom experience and knowledge of the law give our clients the edge in being successful in any litigated dispute.
Allow us, your Rankin County, Mississippi law firm, to help you in all your legal problems. With offices in Flowood, Mississippi, we are centrally located to represent people in all areas of Mississippi.
