Welcome to Obenauf Law Group! We’re so glad you’re here. Our clients are looking to make a plan for their family that protects their home, their land, and their other assets. They want to leave what they have to their loved ones simply, without conflict, drama, or taxes.
For parents of minor children, they want to create a plan so their keiki are never out of the hands of their loved ones, even for a moment, if the unthinkable should occur. And our kupuna want to plan for their long-term care in a way that honors their wishes and protects their assets from expensive nursing home and long-term care costs.
We focus on the needs of families. We know that you are busy and don’t spend every waking minute contemplating changes you might have to make to your estate plan. We take pride in explaining concepts clearly and keeping it as simple as possible, so you get the plan that is right for you.
We have systems in place to make the planning process convenient, stress free and efficient. We’ll return your emails, texts, and phone calls, and you won’t have to wait forever because our well-trained team will take care of you.
Once your plan is completed, we invite you to check in every three years to see what has changed for your family and help you keep your documents up to date. If you call or email us before then with a question, you will not receive a bill.
We believe that your financial wealth is only part of your overall plan. The plan we create for you will address issues such as who you are, what matters most to you in life, and how you can pass your values and legacy to future generations.
An estate plan, such as a will or trust, includes a set of legal documents in which you give what you want to the people you want in the way that you want. It should reflect your values. It should give you complete control over your financial and personal affairs and provide an orderly plan to help ensure the financial, emotional and physical well-being of you, your spouse and the people you love.
After the emotionally devastating loss of a loved one, many families find themselves needing to administer their loved one’s trust or, if the family member did not have an estate plan, needing to open a probate at court. We are here to help you compassionately and efficiently, so that you and your family can focus on what is most important: coming to terms with your loss and moving on with your lives.
A conservatorship and a guardianship both are legal proceedings in which a court appoints someone to manage the affairs of an individual who is unable to manage their own. A conservator manages a person’s finances, and a guardian manages a person’s legal and health care decisions. The protected person could be a minor child or an adult who is incapacitated.
