Estate Planning
Your legacy is more than just assets; it’s the future you leave behind for your loved ones. A carefully crafted estate plan ensures that your wishes are honored, your family is cared for, and your wealth is protected.
At Danna McKitrick, we help individuals create customized estate plans that include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. Our attorneys work to minimize tax burdens, protect assets, and ensure a smooth transition for future generations.
Education Law
How do you ensure your child with special needs gets the accommodations they deserve? Navigating education law and special education rights can be confusing and frustrating, especially when school districts push back.
Our education law attorneys advocate for students and families, ensuring children receive fair access to education, necessary accommodations, and the legal protections they’re entitled to under laws like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Whether you need help with IEPs, disciplinary issues, or school disputes, we provide strong legal advocacy for your child’s future.
Guardianships & Conservatorships
When a loved one can no longer manage their affairs, taking legal steps to protect their well-being is essential. Whether securing guardianship for a minor or establishing conservatorship for an aging parent, we guide families through the legal process with compassion and precision.
Our attorneys ensure the best interests of vulnerable individuals while making the process as smooth as possible for those taking on these vital responsibilities.
Probate
What happens if a loved one passes away without a will? How do you settle their estate? Probate is the legal process of settling an estate, paying debts, and distributing assets—but it can be costly, time-consuming, and stressful without the right legal guidance.
At Danna McKitrick, our attorneys help families navigate probate efficiently, ensuring estates are administered correctly and disputes are resolved smoothly. Whether you’re an executor handling probate duties or a beneficiary seeking clarity, we provide trusted legal counsel every step of the way.
Trusts & Wills
A well-crafted will or trust ensures your wishes are honored, your loved ones are provided for, and your assets are protected. Without a plan in place, the state determines how your estate is distributed, often leading to unnecessary costs, delays, and disputes.
Whether you need a simple will, a revocable living trust, or a special needs trust, our attorneys tailor solutions to minimize tax burdens, avoid probate, and give you full control over your legacy.
