Wills, Trusts & Estate Planning

Protecting Your Legacy With Precision, Planning, and Proven Tax Strategies

At Childress Law Firm P.C., we provide comprehensive and sophisticated estate planning designed to safeguard your assets, honor your wishes, and maximize tax efficiency. Our approach blends traditional estate planning with advanced tax-oriented techniques, including irrevocable trusts, upstream planning, and other mechanisms recognized and supported under federal and state tax law, to deliver durable, long-term solutions for individuals and families.

Whether your goals involve family protection, asset preservation, or multigenerational planning, we create tailored documents that integrate seamlessly into your broader financial and tax structure.

Core Estate Planning Services

Wills

A well-drafted will establishes your intentions, nominates fiduciaries, and provides clear direction for the distribution of your estate. We ensure your will is enforceable, precise, and harmonized with the rest of your planning.

Revocable Living Trusts

Revocable trusts provide privacy, probate avoidance, and continuity of management during incapacity. These instruments serve as the foundation for many clients’ estate plans and are customized to meet your specific objectives.

Irrevocable Trusts & Advanced Tax-Efficient Planning

We design and implement irrevocable trust structures that can remove assets from your taxable estate, protect family wealth, and leverage favorable tax provisions. These include advanced strategies recognized under state and federal tax law.

Upstream Basis & Multigenerational Planning

Strategic upstream transfers can allow certain assets to obtain a stepped-up basis under the Tax Code, potentially eliminating built-in capital gains and enhancing intergenerational tax efficiency. We evaluate these opportunities carefully to ensure compliance and suitability.

Additional Professional Services

Advance Directives for Health Care

We prepare comprehensive Georgia Advance Directives for Health Care, allowing you to designate medical agents, articulate treatment preferences, authorize end-of-life decisions, and ensure compliance with state law.

Durable Financial Powers of Attorney

A properly executed Durable Power of Attorney ensures that trusted agents are legally empowered to act on your behalf in financial and administrative matters. We tailor authority provisions to your needs while ensuring compliance with Georgia’s statutory framework.

Certificates of Trust

We prepare legally compliant Certificates of Trust enabling trustees to prove the existence and authority of a trust without disclosing confidential terms. These documents streamline banking, real estate transactions, and financial operations.

Deed Transfers & Titling Coordination

Proper titling is essential to ensure assets pass through your trust or estate plan as intended. We prepare and record deeds, modify property ownership structures, and coordinate beneficiary designations to align with your overall plan.

Trust Funding Instructions & Implementation Guidance

A trust is only effective if properly funded. We provide detailed, written trust-funding instructions and assist with the transfer of assets including real property, financial accounts, business interests, and personal assets, to ensure the trust operates as legally intended.
