At the Law Office of Clay R Treese, we specialize in estate planning for individuals and families in Blackfoot, Idaho and surrounding communities. Whether you’re creating a will, establishing a trust, selecting a power of attorney, or navigating probate avoidance — we guide you step by step with clarity and care.
Many people assume estate planning is only for the wealthy or only needs to happen later in life—but the truth is that everyone has an estate and everyone should have a plan. Without a will or trust, your assets may be distributed according to state law instead of your wishes. Having a comprehensive estate plan ensures your loved ones, your children, and the causes you care about are protected.
Some of the key benefits of proper estate planning include:
Ensuring your assets pass according to your wishes (avoid intestacy)
Minimising probate delays and costs
Choosing who will make decisions for you if you become incapacitated (power of attorney, medical directives)
Protecting minor children or vulnerable beneficiaries
Managing tax and legacy-planning matters for higher-net-worth families
