Estate Planning Attorneys in Canton, Ohio

Estate planning helps protect your loved ones and ensures your wishes are carried out the way you intend.

Trust and Estate Attorneys in Canton

A trust is one of the most versatile tools you can use to protect your assets and streamline future administration. Oath Law's Canton trust attorneys help you evaluate whether a revocable living trust or an irrevocable trust is the right fit for your goals.

A revocable living trust allows you to maintain full control during your lifetime and adjust it as your circumstances change. An irrevocable trust adds stronger protection and a structured way to manage long-term wealth. We explain each option in clear, everyday language, helping you make informed decisions that support your family's future.

With a customized trust strategy, your loved ones can enjoy a smoother, less stressful process later on.

Wills and Estate Planning Lawyers in Canton

A will is the foundation of your estate plan. It outlines how you want your assets distributed, names guardians for minor children, and gives your family clear direction when they need it most.

Our Canton estate planning lawyers guide you through the process step by step — helping you name beneficiaries, express your wishes clearly, and avoid common oversights. With a personalized will in place, you can feel confident that your loved ones will have the guidance they need when the time comes.

Power of Attorney Lawyers in Canton

A Power of Attorney (POA) gives a trusted individual the authority to handle your financial or legal matters if you're unable to do so yourself. Without a POA, your family may face court delays and added stress during an already difficult time.

At Oath Law, our Canton team helps you select the right person, define their responsibilities, and prepare a durable POA that's ready when needed. With this essential document in place, you can be assured your affairs will be handled smoothly and responsibly.

Healthcare Directives and Living Wills

A healthcare directive — also known as a living will — communicates your medical treatment preferences if you cannot make decisions on your own. It provides clarity for your family and medical team, ensuring your care aligns with your personal values.

Oath Law's Canton team walks you through important medical considerations, helping you clearly document your wishes regarding life support, emergency care, and comfort measures. Your loved ones will have clear guidance during difficult moments, reducing stress and uncertainty.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between a will and a trust?

A will takes effect after you pass away, while a trust can manage your assets during your life and afterward.

Many Canton families use both. A trust streamlines management, while a will names guardians and covers remaining assets.

4. How often should I update my estate plan?

Review your plan every few years or after major life events like marriage, divorce, or buying a home.

Without a will, Ohio law determines how your assets are distributed — which may not reflect your wishes.

A living will documents your preferences for medical treatment if you cannot communicate your decisions.
