Estate Planning For Married Couples

Create an up-to-code estate plan that reflects your wedding vows

Protect Your Spouse & Property With Proven Estate Solutions

Without a proper estate plan that appoints your spouse as the incapacity decision-maker in advance, he or she will not have the legal authority to make even fundamental decisions for you – or both of you.

For example, medical privacy laws will bar access to medical records and the ability to consult with your attending physician. Financial laws will also limit control over your finances, and IRS regulations will prohibit filing a “legal” joint income tax return.

Merhab Robinson & Clarkson can help you avoid these dire circumstances and plan effectively for the future. We can prepare a custom estate plan that includes effective and legal protections for your spouse. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Extremely Responsive to All My Questions

“I am a trust client of Paula and I cannot say enough positive things about her/their knowledge of trusts and estate planning. She has always been extremely responsive to my questions and concerns and educates me in the process. I have referred my son and a close friend to her, and they are also very pleased. I was referred to her by a friend in family law, and I remain impressed.”

– Anne B., Client

Ms. Robinson is an Excellent Attorney

“Ms. Robinson is an excellent attorney. She and her firm have represented our company as corporate counsel for over 30 years. I have worked with Marla for over 20 years, and she is extremely knowledgeable, articulate, responsive, helpful – the list goes on. She can form a corporation or LLC, write or revise a contract within minutes, and she’s a highly effective negotiator. She and her colleagues have seen us through countless corporate ventures, contract negotiations, employee matters, and more.”

– Aimee M., Client

Timely, Professional, and Reasonable

“Ms. Clarkson inherited me when my attorney left his practice to serve as a judge, so I was a bit apprehensive using this firm initially. But after my first visit, and every time since over the last few years, Ms. Clarkson and her staff have done everything I needed in a very timely, professional, and reasonable manner. I highly recommend this firm for your Estate planning.”

– T. Gibson, Client
