At the Winter Park and Denver, Colorado, offices of Atwater & Herren, Attorneys at Law, LLC, we represent couples, individuals, and families in their estate planning needs. Our primary aspiration in each estate plan we create is to ensure that our client's individual succession goals are adequately met. First, we will listen attentively to your unique estate planning objectives, then work diligently and thoroughly to create the proper wills, trusts, or other entities tailored to meet those objectives.

Contact an experienced, trusted, knowledgeable attorney at our law firm today to discuss your estate planning goals in a confidential consultation.

Some of the tools we use to create comprehensive, individualized estate plans for our clients include:

• Wills
• Trusts
• Revocable and irrevocable trusts
• Generation skipping trusts
• Family trusts
• Special needs trusts
• Conservatorships and guardianships
• Durable powers of attorney and Health Care Powers of Attorney
• Living Wills

Understanding how an estate plan will affect you and your beneficiaries down the road is critical in creating a plan that meets your needs. In addition to being a knowledgeable and skilled estate planning attorney, Mr. Atwater is also a certified public accountant (CPA). This provides us with a unique insight into the tax implications of using each of these estate planning tools.

It is important to have a lawyer who is associated with other parties who can assist in addressing your comprehensive needs. Our firm has close working relationships with Medicare and Medicaid attorneys and experts, care planners, assisted living program planners, banks, independent trustees, financial experts, and other individuals who can assist in identifying possible problems and suggest unique solutions.

Annuities, life insurance policies, savings accounts, and other financial accounts must be adequately titled and guided by the trust or other estate plan we implement. With more than sixty years of combined legal practice, we have the experience working in this complex area of law to do this effectively and successfully.

In addition to estate planning and tax law, we also assist clients in probate and estate administration.
