Estate Planning Attorney with 20+ years experience
I am Brad Michael Williams, an Estate Planning Attorney dedicated to safeguarding what is most important to you, both now and in the future. Estate planning transcends mere paperwork; it involves ensuring that you have a robust plan for life's uncertainties, such as healthcare decisions, guardianship for children, incapacity planning, and asset protection. A meticulously crafted estate plan not only protects your personal and business assets from creditors but also preserves your legacy and provides peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
Estate planning is essential for anyone who desires to maintain control over their future, not just the affluent. Whether your focus is on protecting your family, securing your healthcare wishes, minimizing taxes, or shielding assets, I collaborate with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds to tailor plans that meet their specific needs and goals.
My journey in the legal field began in Jackson, Mississippi, where I handled probate cases that highlighted the critical need for proactive planning. My enthusiasm for estate planning intensified while preparing for the sale of my business—RevClaims, a company I established in 2006 to aid hospitals with insurance claims. After growing it into a national entity, I strategically orchestrated its sale in 2021 to secure my family’s financial future while minimizing estate taxes using trusts and advanced planning techniques.
As a husband and father in a blended non-traditional family, I grasp the intricacies of modern estate planning. Each family has distinct needs, and I am dedicated to assisting clients—whether their estate is valued at $100,000 or $100 million—crafting personalized plans that respect their wishes.
Licensed in Mississippi and Louisiana, I offer guidance in estate planning, asset protection, and business matters. My approach is both personalized and pragmatic, aimed at ensuring your legacy endures for future generations.

- Q. How can I appoint someone other than my spouse to have legal authority in Mississippi?
- A: In Mississippi, you can appoint someone other than your spouse to handle your financial and healthcare decisions by executing a Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) for finances and an Advance Health-Care Directive for medical decisions. These legally binding documents override a spouse’s default authority, ensuring your chosen agent has full control. To be valid, they must be properly signed, preferably notarized, and distributed to relevant parties like banks and healthcare providers. If you previously named your spouse in any document, revoke those in writing. Additionally, nominating a guardian in these documents further prevents a spouse from regaining control through the courts. Taking these ... Read More
