Areas of Practice
WALLA WALLA WA ATTORNEYS AT LAW
Estate Planning and Trust Administration
Those looking to protect their assets in the event of death or incapacitation will often need the assistance of attorneys at law in Walla Walla. Estate planning is one of the best ways to ensure that your possessions and assets are distributed quickly and easily after death, relieving some of the stress that would otherwise burden grieving relatives. It is just as important to ensure a will or trust is created and managed properly. Otherwise, families could be stuck in the probate process for years, waiting for an estate to be administered.Business Law
Business law covers a variety of issues ranging from contract formation to partnership disputes. At Basalt Legal PLLC, we help our clients resolve these types of business-related matters, in addition to:
- Structuring businesses to limit liability;
- Reviewing leases, loans, and other contracts;
- Assisting clients with the sale or purchase of a business;
- Helping companies smoothly transition during a merger; and
- Mediating contract disputes.
Although litigation is usually a last resort, it is often a necessary step when a business is encountering legal issues or if partner negotiations are not working. Dealing with these kinds of issues is difficult, as business law is known for being particularly complex, so if you have questions about starting your own business or entering into a contract, it is critical to speak with an experienced business attorney who can help protect your interests.
