Corinne Akintola
Partner, wills and trusts
Drafts the wills, trusts and deeds, and puts together every binder.
Estate and elder law, Madison
Your whole plan, signed and in one binder
Three lawyers on Monroe Street write wills and trusts, settle estates, plan for care costs and step in when a parent can’t decide alone. You leave with the signed originals, tabbed, and a first page that says who to call.
Claims and matters
Four short claims, and the matter behind each
One promise for each practice. Under it is a sample matter, the kind of file that shows what the promise means.
The house skips probate
Wills and trusts, Corinne Akintola
A widowed teacher near Vilas Park signed a living trust and a new deed into it. Her son later sold the house without opening a court case.
One lawyer from death to final account
Probate, Leopold Ostrowski
Three siblings in three states, one house on the east side. Leopold ran the inventory, the sale and the final account; they came to Madison once.
Care paid for, the home kept
Medicaid planning, Tou Vang
A husband moved into memory care. A spending plan and an application left his wife in their house with her share of their savings.
Someone who can sign
Guardianship, Tou Vang
A mother with dementia had no power of attorney. A guardianship petition and a hearing let her daughter sign the care home’s papers.
Sample matters, written to illustrate the work. Every family’s facts are different, and past results don’t promise a similar outcome.
