Helping You Protect What Matters Most—Today and for the Future
Life is unpredictable. But your legacy shouldn’t be.
Whether you’re building wealth, raising a family, planning for retirement, or caring for aging parents, a solid estate plan ensures that your wishes are honored, your loved ones are protected, and your assets are distributed with purpose and clarity.
At The Law Office of LaSheena M. Williams, P.C., we help individuals and families across Montgomery County and throughout Maryland create customized estate plans that reflect their values, goals, and unique family dynamics.
From simple wills to complex trusts and healthcare directives, we provide clear, compassionate guidance every step of the way, so you can plan with confidence.
What Is Estate Planning, and Why Does It Matter?
Estate planning is the process of preparing legal documents and strategies to manage your assets, healthcare, and family matters in the event of incapacity or death.
Many people believe estate planning is only for the wealthy. But in reality, every adult in Maryland—especially if you’re married, have children, or own property—needs a plan.
Without a legally valid estate plan in place, your family may face:
- Court delays and legal costs
- Unwanted distribution of your assets
- Disputes among family members
- Court-appointed guardianship for minor children
- Uncertainty about your healthcare wishes
Estate planning puts you in control—not the courts.
Our Maryland Estate Planning Services
We offer comprehensive estate planning services for clients in Montgomery County and across Maryland. Whether you’re starting fresh or updating existing documents, we tailor every plan to fit your specific life stage, family structure, and financial goals.
Our estate planning services include:
Wills
A Last Will and Testament outlines how your assets will be distributed after your death and names a guardian for minor children. We help you draft a will that clearly reflects your wishes and meets all Maryland legal requirements.
Revocable Living Trusts
Trusts help avoid probate, maintain privacy, and offer more control over how and when your assets are distributed. We assist with creating and funding trusts to manage your estate smoothly and efficiently.
Powers of Attorney
A Maryland Power of Attorney allows someone you trust to make legal and financial decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. We help you appoint agents and limit their authority as needed.
Advance Healthcare Directives
Also called a Living Will, this document outlines your medical treatment preferences and appoints a healthcare agent to make decisions if you’re unable to communicate.
Beneficiary Designations Review
We ensure your retirement accounts, life insurance, and other non-probate assets align with your estate plan and go to the right beneficiaries.
Guardianship Planning
If you have minor children, we help you designate trusted guardians and ensure their future is protected if something happens to you.
Estate Plan Reviews and Updates
Major life changes—like marriage, divorce, childbirth, or purchasing a home—should prompt an estate plan review. We provide ongoing support to keep your plan current and effective.
