About Spiro

Biography

Serving the community with integrity and compassion since 1993, Offering Professional Estate Planning, Probate & Trust Administration services

We maintain a dual perspective by looking at each elder law situation from the point of view of both the older person and the person who provides their care and support. Both roles can be difficult and confusing, so we are sensitive to the dynamics of the relationship.

No matter how much property you have or what age you are, all adults should consider estate planning. Now is the time to protect your assets, put away funds for your child’s education and/or the pleasures of retirement, and address the necessary issues that are hard to face, for example, incapacity.

When someone dies, their estate goes through a court-supervised process known as “probate administration,” which involves gathering, inventorying, and distributing the assets of the decedent as their will directs. In any case, our probate attorney will assist in simplifying the process.

At Verras Law, we help clients create trusts as part of a comprehensive estate plan. Though many people mistakenly believe that trusts are only advantageous for wealthy individuals or families, this is far from true. We have successfully created trusts for clients of varying income levels.

While wills can serve as a powerful estate planning tool, they are only effective if they are properly drafted to suit the needs of each individual. An estate planning attorney can review all your options with you and establish a will in a manner that ensures your wishes will be honored.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
