Troy, Ohio Attorneys

Estate Planning

Thoughtful estate planning helps you protect what you have built and provide for the people who matter most. Our Troy estate planning lawyers will help you create a plan that fits your family’s needs, aligns with your priorities, and supports the future you want to achieve. We can assist you with:

• Powers of attorney: We can draft powers of attorney so a trusted person can manage your financial affairs or make decisions on your behalf if you are ever unable to act for yourself.
• Last will and testament: While it can be difficult to think about the end of life, having a will in place gives your family clear direction and can simplify the probate process. Our attorneys will walk you through the decisions involved and help reduce uncertainty and conflict.
• Revocable and irrevocable trusts: Trusts can be powerful tools for protecting assets, planning for long term care, and providing for future generations. We will help you determine what type of trust best fits your situation and make sure it is set up correctly.

Family Law

Family law matters are deeply personal, and emotions often run high. Our Troy attorneys and staff offer a patient, understanding environment while still providing the strong advocacy you need during difficult transitions.

We can help with:

• Divorce: Ending a marriage is rarely simple. Working with a Miami County lawyer gives you someone in your corner who understands local courts and is focused on reaching a fair outcome, including an equitable division of property and, when needed, support.
• Child custody and support: Ohio law expects parents to support their children regardless of marital status. We can help you pursue parenting time, decision making arrangements, and child support orders that are realistic, enforceable, and centered on your children’s best interests.

Real Estate

Real estate transactions and disputes involve detailed contracts, strict timelines, and significant money. When you are buying, selling, or leasing property in Miami County, even small mistakes can create big problems. Our real estate team pairs experienced Ohio real estate attorneys with our fully owned title company, Title Safe Agency, giving you local insight and coordinated support to help safeguard your investment.

We can assist you with:

• Purchase agreements: Purchase contracts set the terms for one of the largest financial decisions many people make. A real estate lawyer in Troy can review your agreement, explain the fine print, and help you negotiate terms that protect you.
• Closings: Finalizing a real estate transaction involves more than signing papers. Title Safe Agency, Inc. makes sure each closing is handled correctly so that title, funds, and documents are properly transferred and you can move forward without unwelcome surprises.
• Title exams and title insurance: Our real estate attorneys carefully examine the property’s title history and advise you on any liens, defects, or issues that must be resolved. We can also provide title insurance so you, as the new owner, have added protection for your investment.
• Zonings and developments: If your plans involve changing how property is used or developing land, our Troy real estate lawyers can guide you through zoning regulations, variances, and potential disputes with neighboring property owners or local authorities.
• Rental agreements: Many lease forms are generic and do not account for your specific needs. Our Troy real estate attorneys can review residential or commercial leases, identify unfavorable terms, and suggest revisions that better safeguard your rights and finances.
