Why Do You Need a Plan?

It’s Not About the End. It’s About Control.

Many people view estate planning as something to deal with "later." We view it as the ultimate act of organization for the people you care about most. A well-crafted plan allows you to stop worrying about "what if" and focus on living your life today.

Protect Your Assets: Keep the home, investments, and savings you’ve worked hard for within your family.

Keep Families Out of Court: We focus on "Living" plans designed to bypass the public, costly, and stressful probate process entirely.

Appoint Guardians: Ensure your minor children are raised by the people you choose, not a judge who doesn't know your family.

Direct Your Care: Clearly outline your medical and financial wishes if you are ever unable to speak for yourself.

Our Services

Focused Estate Planning Services

We don't dabble in general law or courtroom litigation. Our practice is dedicated solely to the "proactive" side of the law: helping you build a fortress around your family’s future.

1. Revocable Living Trusts

For families seeking maximum privacy and ease.

The gold standard for avoiding court intervention. A trust allows your assets to pass to your heirs immediately and privately, without the delays and fees of the state legal system.

2. Wills & Power of Attorney

The essential foundation for every adult.

Whether it’s a simple Will or a comprehensive package including Healthcare Proxies and Financial Powers of Attorney, we ensure your voice is heard even when you aren't in the room.

Common Questions About Estate Planning

Q: I’m not wealthy; do I still need a trust?

A: Estate planning isn't just for the wealthy. If you own a home or have children, a plan ensures that those assets are managed correctly and your kids are protected, regardless of your bank balance.

Q: What is the difference between a Will and a Trust?

A: A Will is essentially a letter to a judge; it must go through probate. A Trust is a private contract that bypasses the court entirely. We help you decide which tool is right for your specific situation.

Q: Does your firm handle probate or settle estates after a death?

A: No. We focus exclusively on the planning phase. By dedicating our practice only to Trusts and Wills, we ensure your documents are drafted with the specific intent of avoiding the very court cases other firms profit from.
