Clients estate planning

Creating Generational Wealth. Not Generational Problems

Estate planning can be stressful for the whole family. At the Stepanuk Law Group, we pride ourselves on providing personalized, hassle-free legal support and smoothly navigating you through the process. We assist in various aspects of estate planning, including:

  • Wills
  • Trusts
  • Power of Attorney
  • Advanced Medical Directives

Family Law

We guide family members by explaining the law and outlining the process to help them achieve their desired results and end goals.  Family law disputes can feel like a never-ending uphill battle without professional legal assistance, but the professional legal assistance does not have to be cost prohibitive.  In fact, moving forward without the advice of an attorney or a limited scope review for uncontested matters can cost one more in the long run by not understanding risks or one’s rights under the law.  Stepanuk Law Group personally works with each of our clients to sort through the complexities of:

  • Prenuptial Agreements
  • Postnuptial Agreements (also known as Antenuptial Agreements)
  • Separation and Property Settlement Agreements
  • Co-habitation Agreements for Unmarried Couples Purchasing Real Estate Together
  • Uncontested Divorce Filings
  • Mediation and the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Processes
