Welcome to Meghan Avila Law – Your Guide in Estate & Elder Law
At Meghan Avila Law, we offer comprehensive estate & elder law guidance built around your needs. Whether you’re planning your legacy, handling a loved one’s affairs, or preparing for later life transitions, we support you through each step.
We treat each client uniquely. We listen, explain your options clearly, and help you make decisions you feel confident about. Our goal: legal structure you trust, peace of mind for you and your family.
Our Focus: Estate Planning, Trust Administration, Elder Law & Probate
We center our practice on four interlocking areas:
- Estate Planning
- Trust Administration
- Elder Law
- Probate
This focus ensures we stay sharp in these fields so we can better serve you. Below is how each area works with you.
Estate Planning
Estate planning helps you map out how your assets and affairs will be handled now and later. We help you:
- Draft wills that express your wishes
- Set up powers of attorney and health care directives
- Design strategies to reduce estate taxes
- Plan guardianship provisions for minor children
With solid estate planning, you reduce uncertainty. You leave behind clear directions so your family doesn’t struggle in difficult times.
Trust Administration
Trusts let you control how and when your assets pass on. We guide you through:
- Creating revocable and irrevocable trusts
- Managing trust assets after your death
- Amending or terminating trusts when needs shift
- Advising trustees on responsibilities
Trust administration often forms the core of a robust estate plan. It ensures your goals carry on beyond your lifetime.
Elder Law
As people age, they face legal, medical, and financial choices that demand tailored strategies. In elder law we help with:
- Long‑term care planning and Medicaid strategies
- Guardianship and conservatorship when capacity changes
- Planning for special needs or disability
- Protecting assets while arranging care
We stand by you during transitions, always emphasizing dignity, stability, and clarity.
Probate
When someone passes without complete planning, or a will or trust faces challenge, probate may become necessary. We assist by:
- Guiding executors or administrators through court procedures
- Resolving conflicts among heirs or beneficiaries
- Representing parties when disputes escalate to litigation
We aim to simplify probate processes and reduce stress for your family.
How We Work With You
Personalized First Steps
We begin with a consultation to understand your assets, family dynamics, health status, and goals. From there, we:
- Lay out your options clearly
- Present a legal roadmap tailored to you
- Estimate timing and costs
- Let you choose how deeply involved you want to be
Every plan we build reflects your priorities and life circumstances.
Implementation & Ongoing Support
We draft documents, guide signatures, and help you take the next steps. But that isn’t where our job ends. As life changes, we revisit your plan. Whether you marry, have a child, sell property, or confront health changes, we adapt your structure so it remains effective and current.
We keep you informed at each stage, responding to questions and adjusting as needed.
Clear Communication & Transparency
We strive for no surprises. From day one you’ll see:
- What each step involves
- Associated costs
- Potential risks or trade‑offs
- A timeline for what’s next
We aim to build trust through clarity.
