Nonprofit organizations are crucial to society, particularly in a world that is increasingly becoming more profit-oriented. These organizations, as well as churches and religious organizations, perform a role consciously dedicated to improving other people’s lives. However, like any other business, these entities have concrete legal needs. We fill those legal needs by providing charities, foundations, churches, private schools, and other types of nonprofits with transactional and general counsel services.

At Provident Law®, we are staunch supporters of religious liberties. The first clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution commands that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Therefore, we defend churches and other religious entities as they exercise the religious rights and freedoms that our Constitution guarantees

Our attorneys handle probate and trust administration as needed to wrap up the final affairs of a deceased person. Probate administration occurs when courts oversee the disposition of property and debts in a person’s estate, including distributing assets to the persons entitled to them and resolving creditor claims against the estate. We also administer trusts, a private administration process that follows the terms of the trust.

The estate planning attorneys at Provident Law® can help you create a comprehensive estate plan tailored to meet your objectives. We can help ensure that your estate plan carries out your intent by passing on assets as you choose to the people who are most important to you. In addition, by completing legal documents such as wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, healthcare powers of attorney, and living wills, we can make your wishes known to your surviving family members on various important issues.
