O'Brien Estate Law, LLC
With almost 20 years of legal experience, Tim O'Brien brings a mature eye to estate planning. As the father of young kids, he also understands and appreciates the needs of families with school-age children. In his work with O'Brien Estate Law, LLC, Tim works to make sure his clients don't get cookie cutter estate plans. He takes the time to understand each person's or family's wishes and builds the plan around their specific circumstances. Tim also firmly believes that an estate plan is not just something you do and put on a shelf. Each plan needs to be reviewed as life's circumstances change. One of his favorite things about working with families is giving them the peace of mind that a parent's legacy will continue and their children will be cared for as the parent wishes.

- Q. Father is on ventilator and unsure if there’s a will. His older sister is taking titles and other things out of his home
- A: Sorry to hear about your father. First, I presume since he is on a ventilator, he is not conscious or competent to answer questions about whether he has a will or not. Second, as long as he does not have a spouse (who is currently alive and to whom he is currently married), you and your siblings would be next in line to inherit his estate.
