Estate Planning & Probate – Mobile, AL
Protecting Your Legacy, Empowering Your Loved Ones
Planning for the future is an act of love. At Hernandez & Associates Law Firm, we guide individuals and families across Alabama through the important decisions that safeguard their assets and protect the people who matter most. Whether you're preparing for the unexpected or navigating the aftermath of loss, our attorneys are here to support you with clarity, care, and trusted legal insight.
Wills, Trusts, and Tailored Estate Plans
Your estate plan is more than paperwork — it’s your voice when you’re no longer able to speak. We help you create customized:
- Wills – Clearly outline who inherits your assets and designate guardians for minor children.
- Trusts – Protect assets, avoid probate, or plan for long-term care and special needs.
- Powers of Attorney – Appoint someone you trust to manage financial or legal affairs if you become incapacitated.
- Advance Health Care Directives – Make your medical preferences known before a crisis occurs.
Our attorneys take the time to understand your family, your values, and your long-term vision. We design flexible documents that can evolve as your circumstances change.
Navigating the Probate Process with Confidence
Losing a loved one is never easy — and handling their estate can feel overwhelming. Our firm is here to take the legal burden off your shoulders. We assist personal representatives, beneficiaries, and families with:
- Filing and managing probate proceedings
- Resolving disputes between heirs or executors
- Validating wills and navigating intestate estates
- Transferring assets and settling debts
Our team works efficiently to protect your loved one’s wishes, preserve family harmony, and avoid unnecessary delays or costs.
Adoption & Guardianship Support in Times of Change
Estate planning often overlaps with guardianship and adoption matters — particularly in cases involving a loss in the family. If a child is left without a legal parent, we help grieving families secure legal custody through adoption or guardianship proceedings. You don’t have to figure it out alone — let our attorneys handle the legal logistics so you can focus on healing.
