Estate Planning for Every Person

Many people believe that they are too young or aren’t wealthy enough to need an estate plan. That is simply not true. In fact, some of the people who are most vulnerable if they do not have an estate plan are young unmarried people and parents with minor children, regardless of the size of their estate.
A good estate plan includes documents that will allow you to nominate the people who will raise your children if you pass away, as well as designate who will help take care of you if you become incapacitated for any period of time, and who will manage your assets for you and for your children if you can’t. There is so much more in an estate plan than who will inherit your assets. We believe good estate planning goes beyond naming beneficiaries of your estate, it’s an opportunity design and preserve your own legacy.

You are never too busy to finally get an estate plan in place or update your existing plan. The hardest part is simply making that first call — contact us to schedule a consultation and we'll do everything we can to make the rest easy for you!

Our Estate Planning Process

The very first step is to call our office and schedule your initial meeting with an attorney. During your first meeting, you and your attorney will go over your personal and family situation, review any existing estate planning documents, and review your assets.

Then we will begin to focus on what you hope to accomplish with your estate plan. For example, do you need to name guardians for minor children? Do you want to make sure your children do not get immediate access to all of their inheritance at once? Or maybe you want to disinherit a relative or make sure your family business ends up in the right hands. Once we understand what you want, then we will design your plan by determining which documents you need to accomplish your estate planning goals, what those documents will say, and how much they will cost you.

Once you engage our firm to do your estate plan, we will get right to work. We will prepare a draft of all your documents and either email them to you to review in the comfort of your own home or we will set up a meeting to review your documents at our office. Once the documents are reviewed, you will sign them in our office. And then you are done! Then you get to go about your life knowing you have created a plan you and your family can count on for a lifetime!

Cost of Estate Plans

We can assure you that that planning is substantially less costly than it would be for your family if you become incapacitated or die with a plan that doesn't work or if you don’t have a plan in place at all. We have never had a single family who believed in this kind of planning and wanted to put it in place for their loved ones leave our office because they couldn’t afford it. We’ve made creative payment plans available to our clients because we know that this planning is the foundation for a life of success!
