High-Quality Legal Representation
Crain & Wooley has the resources and knowledge of the law that you need on your side to properly plan for the unexpected. We are here to help you draft an effective estate plan that protects all of your hard-earned assets and property so that you and your loved ones feel secure knowing your important affairs will be properly handled when you pass away or if you become incapacitated. If you are ready to proactively plan for the future, get in touch with our legal team in Mansfield to determine which legal tools you need to include in your estate plan.
Draft Your Last Will & Testament Before It’s Too Late
You need to make sure you have a valid will that provides your loved ones and the probate court with specific instructions for how your assets should be distributed after you pass away. Your will isn’t legally binding until you die. Although the will explains who your assets should go to, it does not give your family and friends immediate power to distribute assets. The executor of your estate must complete the probate process before they can begin distributing the estate's assets.
Make Sure Your Estate is Ready for Probate
Your will is essentially a set of detailed instructions that must be proven in court during the probate process. The goal of the probate process is to prove that your will is valid and to ensure nefarious parties don’t serve in the role of executor. Reach out to our firm today to determine which legal tools you need to simplify the probate process for your loved ones and other beneficiaries.
We Help Clients Choose the Right Trusts for Their Estate Plans
People often think that trusts only benefit only the extremely wealthy. However, trusts are used by everyday people of all backgrounds to build and transfer funds and assets to future generations. There are multiple types of trusts, but three of the most common are revocable living trusts, irrevocable living trusts, and supplemental needs trusts. Call today to find out which type of trust you need to include in your estate plan.

"Would Definitely Recommend Crain & Wooley"
We attended a lunch seminar hosted by Shelly Joyner and her team to listen and learn more about our options with Trusts. Based on Shelly's presentation, examples, and knowledge of Trusts, we were sold on Crain & Wooley as the firm to prepare and manage our Trust.
The Crain & Wooley process from start to finish was fast, efficient and very professional. Throughout the progression, both Shelly and Steve Crosby communicated, answered all our questions, and provided various trust documents through the portal for our review /comments.
Would highly recommend the services of Crain & Wooley!!

"Made the Entire Process a Seamless Operation"
Finding a law firm to assist me in creating a "Living Trust" was very confusing. After interviewing three law firms, I chose Crain & Wooley.
They got back to me quickly after the initial consultation and made the entire process a seamless operation.
I highly recommend and will work with Shelly Joyner and Crain & Wiiley again in the future.

"We Felt Valued, Cared for and Appreciated"
It was a pleasure working with Justin Crain, Shelly Joyner, Steve Crosby, and the entire staff at Crain and Wooley. From the moment we walked into their office, we felt valued, cared for and appreciated. Justin took the time to explain to us the benefits of creating a trust and patiently answered all of our questions. My wife and I particularly appreciated their educational emphasis. They provided us with videos and literature that deepened our understanding of the process and purpose of creating a trust. We never felt any pressure during our meetings with them to purchase any legal products or services. They educated us, encouraged us to ask questions, and let us make our own decision. We did decide to create a living trust, and we are very pleased with the results.- William Benninghoff
