Estate Planning
It can be difficult to think about what will happen with your assets when you pass away. This process forces us to not only face our own mortality but also make some sometimes difficult decisions about who will receive our assets and who will be responsible to make sure our estate is administered properly. If you have minor children, you will also need to think about who would care for them in the event of your death.

Emmett Arnold and his team understand how difficult divorce and the related litigation can be and, with over 36 years of experience, will guide you through the process in a way that achieves your goals whether your divorce can be finalized with an amicable settlement agreement or results in a contentious trial in front of a judge or jury.
