Pease & Gustafson LLP

Estate Planning in Massena NY & Potsdam NY

Difficult economic times have prompted many people to cut costs through developing do-it-yourself wills and other estate planning documents. Unfortunately, without the help of an experienced attorney, critical details are often overlooked. This can cause unnecessary complications and expense in probate, and possibly unintended consequences that result in your assets not going to whom you wished.
