Wills & Estate Administration

The Law Offices of Ritenour Paice Mougin-Boal & Wexton regularly practices in the fields of wills, trusts, probate and estate planning for the state of Virginia. We have the knowledge and experience to provide you with sound legal advice and help put your estate plan into place.

We are capable of drafting wills and other estate planning documents, such as trusts created for the benefit of minor children or individuals who are disabled, advance medical directives (also known as Living Wills/Health Care Powers of Attorney), and general or specific powers of attorney. In addition, this practice area includes assisting clients with the probate or estate administration process, from initial qualification as executor or personal representative of a decedent’s estate to preparation of necessary probate court filings, such as estate inventories and accountings.

Our office is able to help you in every aspect of will preparation, from start to finish. We will retrieve information regarding:

  • Your property
  • Your assets (bank accounts, stocks, mutual funds, bonds, insurance policies and trusts)
  • Your debts
  • Your family
  • Your selection for executor and alternate executor of your will
  • Your selection for your children’s guardian and alternate guardian
  • Your beneficiaries and alternate beneficiaries

One we have gathered and reviewed with you the necessary information for the execution of your will, we will arrange a meeting for the execution of the will before witnesses and a Notary Public if necessary.
