Helping You Safeguard Your Legacy

Estate planning is not about how much you own; it’s about ensuring your loved ones are secure during and after your lifetime. From wills providing clear direction to living trusts safeguarding assets, our attorneys ensure your wishes are honored. We’re here to understand your goals, explain your options in plain language, and design a plan that fits your circumstances. We employ proven trust strategies for clients with larger estates to preserve wealth, reduce tax exposure, and protect inheritances from unnecessary risks.

Peace of Mind Through Thoughtful Planning

A special needs trust allows you to set aside funds for a family member who depends on consistent support. These funds cover costs such as:

  • Medications
  • In-home caregivers
  • Therapies
  • Residential programs

Structured correctly, it preserves eligibility for Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income while still providing extras that improve quality of life. Strauss Attorneys design these trusts to give your spouse, child, or sibling the financial security and personal dignity they need for the years ahead.

Protecting the Ones Who Depend on You—Including Pets

For many families, a beloved dog, cat, or horse is considered a family member, not just a pet. A pet or equine trust allows you to set aside funds specifically for their food, veterinary care, boarding, or training. Our wills & trusts attorneys in Asheville are here to help you create a plan to ensure your animals continue receiving the same level of care and attention after you are gone. This provides peace of mind, knowing that every family member is cared for.
