Planning for the future is one of the most important things you can do for your family. Whether you’re just starting out, preparing for retirement, or managing a complex estate, having the right legal guidance can make all the difference. At Alturas Law Group, we help individuals and families in Star, Idaho, create personalized estate plans that provide security, peace of mind, and clarity for the future.

​

Why Estate Planning Is Essential

Estate planning isn’t just about dividing assets after you’re gone. It’s about protecting the people you love and making sure your wishes are followed. A thoughtful estate plan can help you:

​

• Decide who will receive your assets

• Appoint guardians for your minor children

• Avoid the delays and costs of probate

• Reduce potential estate taxes

• Protect your estate from unnecessary legal issues

• Ensure your healthcare and financial decisions are handled according to your wishes if you become unable to speak for yourself

​

Without a plan in place, your estate may be handled by the court in ways you wouldn’t choose, and your family may face added stress during an already difficult time.

​

Our Estate Planning Services

At Alturas Law Group, we offer a full range of estate planning services to meet the needs of clients at every stage of life. Whether you have a modest estate or a complex mix of assets, we’ll help you build a plan that fits your goals. Our services include:

Wills and Trusts

A will allows you to clearly state who should receive your property after your death. Trusts can offer even more flexibility and privacy, helping your loved ones avoid probate and manage assets efficiently.

​

Power of Attorney
Designate someone you trust to handle financial or legal matters if you’re ever unable to do so yourself. This can help prevent confusion and ensure your affairs are handled the way you want.

​

Healthcare Directives
Make your medical preferences known in advance. A living will or advance directive allows you to specify the kind of care you want—or don’t want—if you’re seriously ill or injured.

​

Guardianship Designations
If you have young children, it’s essential to name a guardian in case something happens to you. This helps avoid family conflict and ensures your kids are cared for by someone you choose.

​

Probate and Estate Administration
We guide families through the probate process after a loved one passes. We’ll make sure everything is handled properly, from filing documents to distributing assets, so you can focus on healing.

​

Personalized, Local Service You Can Trust

Every family is different, and so is every estate. That’s why we take the time to understand your unique situation before offering advice. We believe in straightforward communication, honest guidance, and making legal planning feel less overwhelming.

​

Our attorneys are experienced, attentive, and committed to helping clients throughout Idaho. Even though our main office is not located in Star, we are proud to serve clients in the area and are available by phone, email, or appointment to discuss your estate planning needs.

​

Whether you’re updating an existing will, setting up a trust, or starting from scratch, we’ll walk you through each step. We’ll help you avoid common pitfalls, understand your options, and feel confident that your plan covers everything it should.

​

When Should You Start Estate Planning?

It’s never too early—or too late—to start. Life changes like marriage, the birth of a child, starting a business, or purchasing a home are all great times to review or begin your estate plan. Even if you don’t think you have “a lot” to protect, planning ahead gives you control over what happens next and protects the people who matter most.
