Estate Planning

Protect your family and your legacy. Wills, trusts, probate, and powers of attorney — prepared with the same care this firm has given Skagit County families since 1984.

John R. Shultz practiced wills and probate throughout his 37+ year career. Estate planning remains a natural part of the firm’s work for Skagit and Island County families who want clear documents, local counsel, and a plan that holds up when it matters.

Wills

A will names who inherits, who administers your estate, and who cares for minor children. We draft documents that match Washington law and your family’s situation.

Trusts

Revocable living trusts and related documents can help avoid probate, provide for blended families, and keep administration private.

Probate

When a loved one dies, the court process can feel overwhelming. We guide personal representatives through Washington probate with clear next steps.

Powers of Attorney

Durable powers of attorney and healthcare directives let you choose who acts if you cannot — before a crisis forces the issue.

This page was added to match the firm’s existing meta description promising estate-planning attorneys. Final scope and copy should be confirmed with John A. Shultz.
