La Plata Will and Estate Planning Attorneys
Protect your legacy for your heirs with a complete estate plan provided by highly experienced estate planning attorneys
Mudd, Mudd & Fitzgerald, P.A. has been a leader in comprehensive estate planning for more than a century. Planning your estate requires unique analysis of your personal and financial assets, then individualizing a plan that meets your needs and the needs of your family. We have earned our success, and so have you. Estate planning, beginning with the foundation of an executed will, is an excellent first step in protecting your legacy and preparing for the future.
Having a valid will in place simply makes good sense. While a will directs the distribution of your assets, estate planning can minimize your tax burden and allows you to distribute your assets to trusts so you can continue to enjoy the fruits of your working years while you are alive and well. If you die intestate (without a will), the transfer of your assets is left to the laws of the state.

Planning for your long-term health needs is essential to planning your financial future. It’s true that there are many people who never use healthcare advance directives or other healthcare planning documents they have had created. Still, preparation brings peace of mind. Many people don’t realize Medicaid has strict eligibility guidelines that require you to delete your income and assets in order to qualify. The look back period is closely scrutinized, meaning transfers of your wealth to your children or other persons and your application for Medicaid benefits need to be separated by a period of years, if possible.
It is important to hire a reputable La Plata probate attorney who is knowledgeable in estate planning and administration matters and provides sound advice. Our attorneys do just that, and have been helping clients plan and administer their estates for over 100 years.
