Harrisonburg Wills, Trusts & Estate Planning

Court Square, Harrisonburg, Virginia

Vincent W.P. Prior, Esq. — Virginia attorney • Based in Waynesboro

I’m Vince Prior, and I work with families in Harrisonburg and across Rockingham County on the basic stuff every grown-up should have squared away — a will, powers of attorney, an advance medical directive, and a trust if it actually fits your situation. (Sometimes it doesn’t, and I’ll tell you that.) We meet at your house, at your office, or on Zoom — whatever’s least disruptive to your week.

What we help Harrisonburg families with

  • Wills & estate plans — so your wishes are actually followed, and your spouse and kids aren’t left guessing.
  • Trusts — a properly funded revocable trust can provide management during incapacity and avoid probate for assets titled in or made payable to the trust. A revocable trust ordinarily does not shield the settlor’s property from the settlor’s creditors or create Medicaid eligibility. Carefully structured irrevocable planning can have different consequences and tradeoffs.
  • Powers of attorney & advance medical directives — so somebody you trust can pay the bills, sign the papers, and talk to the doctors if you can’t.
  • Real-estate deeds — transfer-on-death deeds, life-estate deeds, and other ways to pass a house to your kids without sending them through court first.
  • Probate — sitting with the family after a loss and walking them, step by step, through what the court actually needs.
