Family Law and Estate Planning

With nearly 40 years of experience in family law matters, Kenneth J. Annis & Associates is aware of the special care and attention required when representing clients in matters of separation, divorce, probate and estate planning. We strive to keep our clients informed and educated in these areas so they will know their rights. Our goal is to help relieve some of the anxiety and stress associated with family law matters.

Divorce/Separation

Kenneth J. Annis & Associates understands that divorce can be a very emotionally involved and stressful event in your life. In many cases, the emotional aspects of divorces can outweigh the financial aspects. Before filing for divorce, there are key questions you should ask yourself such as: What are my goals of divorce? How will the divorce affect my family over all? What are the financial consequences of divorce? How do I safeguard my assets? to list a few.

Our firm has effectively represented hundreds of clients in uncontested and contested divorce matters including the dividing of property and assets. While we never want to see a family broken up, in circumstances where spouses cannot reach an amicable resolution to continue their marriage, we work hard to make sure that couples remain on good terms with each other, when possible, to achieve a smooth transition from separation to divorce—in many cases without court intervention. Should court intervention become necessary, we will work vigorously to protect you, your spousal rights and your property.

Estate Planning

Kenneth J. Annis & Associates understands that planning for your family in the event of your death can be a difficult task. Our goal is to make this financial and estate planning as simple and as painless as possible. We believe that good estate planning is essential in order to protect our clients’ assets, minimize tax consequences, and ensure that our client’s family’s wealth is fully protected. We help protect our clients’ future as well as their family’s future by properly preparing wills, durable powers of attorneys and healthcare powers of attorney, which are essential in family planning to ensure that your assets are distributed as you desire.
