In an environment when many law firms practice in several different areas, the attorneys at Inter Vivos realized that to truly offer the quality of estate planning services that people deserve, one must do more than just "dabble" in estate planning or provide clients with form estate plans. This is why Inter Vivos was created, not to offer the run of the mill estate plans, but to provide the highest quality of estate planning with the personal touch necessary.

A trust is an arrangement whereby someone owns and manages money or property for another person's benefit. Like a guardianship, a trustee has decision-making authority over the trust property, but no court is involved in the trustee's action–the person who creates the trust defines the scope of the trustee's power. There are many different trust types, including probate trusts, income trusts, spendthrift trusts, and educational trusts.

A written will lets you decide what happens to your money and property after you die, while a living will lets you decide whether or not you wish to be placed on a medical life support system if you become disabled or incapacitated. Wills attorneys and living wills attorneys know all of the language that must be included in your will documents so that things happen the way you want.

I endorse this lawyer. While Mr. Peterson is relatively new to Avvo, he clearly understands the law, inside and out. I have had the opportunity to review a number of his responses to questions on Avvo and his answers reflect not only a keen legal intellect, but also the genuine desire to provide helpful and practical information. I am looking forward to Mr. Peterson's future contributions to the Avvo community and I am happy to endorse him and his services. James Frederick

I endorse Attorney Peterson. From his answers and time on Avvo, it is clear he is dedicated to serving those in need and his clients. It's rare that lawyers spend so much valuable time helping the community, for free, and I applaud him for doing it to such a great level. Kudos.
