The Importance of Having a Will
Creating a will is more than a legal formality; it’s a crucial step in estate planning that ensures your assets are passed on to your loved ones according to your wishes. Without a will, the distribution of your estate may fall to generic legal statutes, potentially leading to outcomes that don’t align with your intentions. This can cause unnecessary stress and complications for your family during an already difficult time. At Galloway Legal, we guide you and your family through the process of creating a will, ensuring clarity and peace of mind for everyone involved.

Life’s milestones—marriage, the birth of a child, divorce, or a change in financial status—necessitate updates to your estate plan.

A Power of Attorney is a crucial legal document that grants someone you trust the authority to make decisions on your behalf.

When it comes to Power of Attorney, there are two key types: Enduring and Non-Enduring. An Enduring Power of Attorney remains effective even if you become incapacitated, providing ongoing protection for your assets and interests. On the other hand, a Non-Enduring Power of Attorney is limited in duration and ceases to be valid if you become incapacitated or unable to make decisions for yourself.
