Wills and Estates

Washington, DC, Attorney

Working with Clients to Find Creative Solutions in Estate Matters
Whether you have just started a family or are nearing retirement, it is prudent to plan for the distribution of your assets in the event of death. There are a variety of estate planning options, each offering advantages and disadvantages. You want an experienced lawyer who fully understands the law, who will explain your options clearly, and who will help you make informed decisions that protect your interests and the interests of your heirs.

At the offices of Susan S. Liberman, I concentrate my practice on wills and estate administration and on matters related to divorce. To learn more about the scope of my divorce practice, see my divorce practice page. Contact me to schedule a free initial consultation.

I work with a select number of clients throughout the Washington, DC area on probate and estate matters. I fully explain the different strategies available to plan effectively for the orderly distribution of your estate. Once we have decided on the specific approach that best meets your needs, I will prepare and help you execute all the documents necessary to implement your estate plan, including

Wills
Living wills (also known as health or medical care directives)
Powers of attorney

If you have been named as executor or administrator of the estate of a loved one or if a loved one has died without a will, I will help you navigate the probate process and successfully settle the estate. If you are involved in a will contest, I can help you find creative solutions that avoid the time and expense of protracted litigation.

Over my years of practice, I have built strong relationships throughout the local legal community. Because of my reputation for providing sound legal counsel that focuses on client needs, most of my clients come to me as referrals from other attorneys or from former clients. In addition, if clients have legal issues that are outside my area of practice, I have a network of attorneys to whom I can refer them.
