Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning

McDowell Odom LLP provides legal counsel to clients in estate planning. Our estate planning services include drafting wills, trusts (both revocable living trusts and irrevocable trusts), advance health care directives, durable powers of attorney for financial management and related documents, developing plans for the effective use of life insurance proceeds, and integrating pension and profit-sharing plan benefits and other retirement accounts with the estate plan. As part of its business succession planning practice, McDowell Odom LLP also counsels principals of small, mid-sized and closely-held businesses regarding strategies for transferring their business interests upon their death or incapacity, either to beneficiaries through an estate plan or to other business partners through a buy-sell agreement.
