Areas of Practice
Whether you’ve lost a loved one or you are planning for those you leave behind, Stebbins & Co. can help.
Estate Administration
Losing a loved one is hard. The world shifts without that person in it, throwing everything off balance. Stebbins & Co. can help by walking with you through the Probate Court System and helping make sure assets are managed and distributed appropriately.
Guardianships and Conservatorships
Sometimes elderly or disabled loved ones reach a point where they can no longer make decisions on their own, and you need more than a Power of Attorney. When this happens, it is important that the responsibility falls to someone who cares. Attorney Jane Stebbins and her staff can help you petition to become a Guardian or Conservator with the probate court.
A Conservatorship petition asks the court to give the petitioner authority over the protected person’s financial assets. Frequently, a Conservator is appointed to prevent or end financial abuse.
A Guardianship petition asks the court to give the petitioner broad authority over the protected person’s living situation and healthcare decisions. Often, a Guardian will be appointed when the protected person is no longer able to take care of themselves.
Estate Planning
Keep your own loved ones from having to make too many decisions when they lose you by handling your own Estate Plan. Stebbins & Co provides Wills, Durable Powers of Attorney and Advanced Directives, also known as Living Wills. In addition, our attorney can talk you through determining which documents fit your situation and answer any questions you may have about your own estate plan.
