Planning for the future may not always be easy, but it’s one of the most important things you can do to protect your loved ones. Whether you're looking to create a will, establish a trust, or navigate the estate administration process, having a knowledgeable attorney by your side makes all the difference.
At the Law Office of Matthew Kunka, we provide comprehensive estate planning services to individuals and families throughout Glen Burnie, Columbia, and the surrounding Maryland communities. With a focus on personalized solutions and clear communication, we help clients gain peace of mind—today and for years to come.
Why Estate Planning Matters
Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy—it’s for anyone who wants to ensure their wishes are carried out and their loved ones are taken care of. A proper estate plan gives you control over important decisions like how your assets are distributed, who will manage your affairs, and how minor children or dependents will be cared for if something happens to you.
Without a valid estate plan, your assets may be tied up in probate and distributed according to Maryland’s default laws, which may not reflect your intentions. Taking the time to prepare today can help your family avoid confusion, delays, and disputes later on. At Kunka Law, we walk you through each step with clarity and compassion—so you feel confident in your plan for the future.
Wills, Trusts, and Estate Planning Services We Provide
Our firm handles a wide range of estate planning and administration services tailored to your unique needs and goals. These include:
- Wills: A last will and testament allows you to clearly state how your assets should be distributed, name guardians for your children, and designate an executor to carry out your wishes.
- Trusts: We assist with revocable living trusts, special needs trusts, and other trust structures that help avoid probate, manage tax burdens, and protect beneficiaries.
- Powers of Attorney: Designate someone you trust to manage your financial or legal affairs if you're unable to do so yourself due to illness, injury, or incapacity.
- Advance Medical Directives: Clearly express your healthcare wishes and appoint a healthcare proxy to make medical decisions on your behalf if needed.
- Estate Administration: We guide families through the probate process, ensuring that the decedent’s estate is managed and distributed properly, legally, and efficiently.
No matter your situation, we take the time to understand your goals and concerns before crafting a plan that reflects your values and priorities.
