Estate Planning and Probate

Knowledgeable Nebraska Estate Planning Attorneys

At Copple, Rockey & McKeever P.C., L.L.O., our attorneys have significant experience handling estate planning, estate administration, and probate matters for individuals and families. We recognize that our clients have unique needs. Our attorneys take the time to understand our clients' situation and their objectives, and then work with them to ensure their estate plan meets those goals.

Comprehensive Estate Planning Services

A comprehensive estate plan involves more than the drafting of a will. Our attorneys work closely with our clients to understand the extent of their business, real estate, and financial holdings. We work to understand whether the focus of the estate plan is maintaining management and control of their estate or minimizing the impact of estate taxes. We then draft the legal documents necessary to meet their objectives.

Often estate plans have multiple components. Some of the estate planning tools commonly used by our attorneys include:

• simple and complex wills
• revocable, irrevocable and charitable trusts
• powers of attorney
• advance health care directives
• guardianships and conservatorships

For clients interested in wealth preservation, we are able to implement a wide range of techniques to protect the assets they have spent a lifetime accumulating. Some of the techniques we can employ include gifting property and assets and establishing limited partnerships or limited liability companies. In addition, we utilize a number of types of trusts to protect our clients wealth, including qualified terminal interest property (QTIP) trusts, qualified personal residence trusts, irrevocable life insurance trusts, dynasty trusts, and grantor retained income trusts.
