Our Practice Areas
Bascom Law PC is a Cumming, Georgia law firm focused on planning-based legal services for individuals, families, and small businesses throughout North Georgia. Here is what we do:
Estate Planning
We draft wills, revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and beneficiary designation reviews — everything needed to protect your assets and your family’s future. Estate planning is not just for the wealthy; anyone with a home, savings, or children needs a plan.
Learn about Estate Planning →Elder Law
Our elder law services address the legal and financial challenges that come with aging: Medicaid planning, long-term care planning, nursing home agreements, guardianship and conservatorship proceedings, and veteran’s benefit planning. We work with older adults and the adult children caring for them.
Learn about Elder Law →Probate Administration
When someone passes away with or without a will, their estate may need to pass through Georgia’s probate court. We represent executors and administrators through the entire process — from petitioning the court to final distribution — minimizing delays and helping you avoid costly personal liability.
Learn about Probate →Trust Administration
If you’ve been named as trustee of a living trust or irrevocable trust, you have real legal obligations to the beneficiaries. We help trustees understand their duties, manage assets correctly, handle trust accounting, and make distributions properly — all while protecting themselves from beneficiary disputes.
Learn about Trust Administration →Asset Protection
Georgia legal team helps clients preserve wealth and minimize risks from lawsuits, taxes, creditors, divorce, and other threats. They emphasize planning within the law, structuring ownership (like LLCs), and using personalized legal strategies to protect assets and secure financial peace of mind.
Learn about Asset Protection →Business Succession
Georgia firm helps owners prepare for leadership changes so a company stays stable if the owner retires, becomes incapacitated, or dies. They stress that planning avoids disruption, protects employees/customers, outlines successor roles, and handles tax/ownership issues, encouraging legal guidance for a tailored succession plan.
Learn about Business Succession →Charitable Trust
A charitable trust lets clients structure part of their estate so a chosen charity receives ongoing support, often while also providing for family members. It highlights planning advantages such as potential tax benefits, flexible beneficiary inclusion, and the firm’s legal guidance in creating tailored charitable trusts under Georgia estate law.
Learn about Charitable Trust →Estate Tax Reduction
Georgia has no state estate tax, but estates may still owe federal estate taxes and taxes in other states depending on asset location and size. They emphasize estate planning—like trusts and proper ownership—to minimize taxes and preserve wealth for heirs, recommending legal guidance to protect assets.
Learn about Estate Tax Reduction →Trusts
Trust is a legal estate-planning tool used to manage and distribute assets according to your wishes, often avoiding probate, protecting privacy, and potentially reducing taxes. They describe various trust types, their purposes, and how their Georgia attorneys help clients create and administer trusts tailored to individual goals

Families Planning for the Future
If you have children, a home, retirement savings, or any assets you want to protect, you need an estate plan — even if you’re young and healthy. We help you create wills, trusts, and powers of attorney that reflect your actual wishes, so your family isn’t left guessing or fighting in court.
Older Adults and Their Caregivers
Our elder law practice focuses on issues that affect seniors directly: long-term care planning, Medicaid eligibility, guardianship, and protecting a lifetime of savings from nursing home costs. We work with both older adults and the adult children helping them navigate these decisions — often under time pressure.
