Jennifer Treadway Morris

Are you concerned with the state of our county's economy or your credit situation?  I can help businesses and individuals in Baton Rouge and New Orleans deal with uncertain economic times with proper financial planning, smart business succession planning, and appropriate estate planning. If you would like to find out more about protecting your hard-earned business assets and personal property, or to learn about proper money management procedures, I will be happy to help you. Contact me for a discussion.

Baton Rouge estate planning attorney Jennifer Treadway Morris has served individuals and families from Greater Baton Rouge to Greater New Orleans and the North Shore since her admission to the Louisiana Bar in 1994.

In addition to serving business owners in their every-day business transactions and litigation needs, I also help owners of family businesses to plan for business succession. When you have spent your life building a successful business, you want to know that your company will be in the capable hands of those you have specifically chosen to continue your company when you retire or pass on.

To learn more about how I can help you with business asset transfer through proper estate planning, contact me for a consultation.

Business Estate Planning and Succession

Transferring your business assets and property to the next generation does not have to be complicated or overly complex. In my more than a decade of practicing law, I have helped business owners convey their intentions for business succession through estate planning tools and documents such as wills, trusts, and family limited partnerships. I can assist you in carefully passing control and management of your business on to the next generation.

With the experience I have gained in my law practice, I help family business owners make wise and effective plans for the future. With proper succession planning now, business owners can ensure that their beloved family companies will smoothly transfer to their selected heir or successor.

Personal Estate Planning

Estate planning is not just for people with family business assets, commercial property, multiple residences, and large estates and assets. Everyone should have a proper estate plan - even if it is just a simple will - in place and drawn up by an experienced estate planning attorney. If you have children for whom you want to provide care, or if you want to make sure that a special possession goes to a particular relative or child, then estate planning provides the legal way to convey your personal wishes and intentions.

After talking with you about your personal assets and your goals, I can explain your estate planning options and make recommendations based on your specific goals. I will fully describe the benefits and potential risks of all types of estate planning tools and documents, including:

• Wills, including simple wills, to pass on your assets to your designated beneficiaries
• Trusts, including special needs trusts, to provide for your children's futures
• Living wills and health care proxies to ensure your wishes are followed in the event of your incapacity
• Powers of attorney to give decision-making authority to a person of your choosing, either for your health care or finances
• Guardianships to designate a caretaker for minor children or dependent adults

Estate planning often involves more than just a simple will to ensure that a family treasure will pass to a specific family member. To learn more about estate planning and how it can help you plan for the end of your life, your health care, and your children's futures, I am happy to meet with you and discuss your options.
