Secure Your Legacy—With the Law Office of James Burns
Every year, families lose millions in probate court costs, navigating a legal system that's as public as it is costly. Imagine instead a world where your estate bypasses this maze entirely, landing where you intended, exactly how you intended. At the Law Office of James Burns, we craft customized estate plans that protect your assets, spare your loved ones from unnecessary stress, and build a legacy you can be proud of.
Imagine the Future You Want for Your Family
Keep What You've Earned Out of Probate Court:
Probate can be lengthy, public, and expensive—an added burden on your loved ones during an already difficult time. With a carefully structured estate plan, you can ensure a private, cost-effective transfer of wealth. Probate isn't a burden you need to leave behind; with us, you can skip the hassle altogether.
Protect the People Who Matter Most:
If you leave your estate to the state's discretion, your assets may not be distributed as you intended. An estate plan lets you choose exactly who receives what and when, so your loved ones' futures remain within your control, no matter what.
Secure Your Children's Future and Well-Being:
For parents of minor children, imagine the peace of mind knowing they'll be cared for by the guardians you trust most. We help you provide for your children's care, education, and financial future, so they're protected and nurtured just as you would want.
Plan for Life's Uncertainties:
Life doesn't always go as planned. Imagine if a sudden illness or accident left you unable to make decisions. An estate plan lets you designate someone to step in, making sure your wishes for medical care, finances, and personal well-being are honored without question.
