Services Dailey Law Offices Provides

We offer a complete suite of estate planning services designed to keep your private affairs out of court and firmly in your family's control. Each instrument is drafted to address your specific financial situation and long-term objectives.

  • Will Drafting and Execution

    Will Drafting and Execution

    A properly drafted will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes after you pass away. We help you create a legally sound document that clearly outlines your intentions, names guardians for minor children, and designates an executor to handle your estate. Our approach minimizes potential disputes while ensuring your document meets all Ohio legal requirements.

  • Trust Creation

    Trust Creation

    Trusts offer asset protection, privacy, and potential tax mitigation that standard wills cannot provide. We analyze your estate to determine the optimal trust structure, whether a revocable living trust, irrevocable trust, special needs trust, or charitable trust. Properly funded trusts keep your estate private, bypass lengthy court interventions, and provide structured financial support for your beneficiaries.

  • Powers of Attorney

    Powers of Attorney

    A power of attorney designates someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. We help you create financial and healthcare powers of attorney that clearly define the scope of authority granted to your agent. These instruments guarantee that your financial obligations and medical decisions are handled without interruption by someone you legally authorize.

  • Advanced Health Care Directives

    Advanced Health Care Directives

    Living wills and healthcare directives legally document your preferences for life-sustaining treatments and end-of-life care. We help you create detailed, unambiguous directives so your family and medical providers understand your exact boundaries, removing the burden of difficult medical decisions from your loved ones.

  • Small Estate Affidavits

    Small Estate Affidavits

    For qualifying smaller estates, Ohio law allows for simplified procedures that can save time and money. We help determine if your situation qualifies for these streamlined processes and guide you through the preparation and filing of small estate affidavits. This approach can significantly reduce the administrative burden on family members during a difficult time.
