for you and your loved ones.
You know having an estate plan is important, but you’ve got a thousand other things on your plate, and you’re just not sure where to start. You’ve come to the right place. We can help.
Benefits of Estate Planning
Control
Ensure that your assets pass to the people you want them to when and how you wish.
Tax Avoidance
Minimize the impact of taxes both during and after your life.
Asset Protection
Shield your assets from creditors and predators for yourself and for your descendants.
Guardianship
Designate who should take care of your children in the event of your untimely passing and ensure your children and their caregivers are well provided for.
Planning for Incapacity
With appropriate documents, you can determine who should control your financial and medical decisions in the event you are no longer able to do so.
Peace of Mind
But most importantly, you'll achieve the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your affairs and your loved ones will be taken care of, even after you're gone.
Why Clients Choose Us
Efficiency
Our reliance on advanced technology and accessible intake forms means you don't have to pay for bricks and mortar. It also means that you can look at our calendar and schedule meetings yourself whenever you like, watch instructional videos, electronically pay bills, and so much more, all online, accessible from any device and at the click of a button.
Convenience
Meeting with an attorney can be as convenient as a FaceTime or Zoom call or as personal as a home visit; the choice is yours. No more having to take off work or find a babysitter to work with your lawyer! We also work on nothing but flat fees, which means your costs are predictable from the get-go.
Estate Planning is Our Sole Focus
Many lawyers will offer to "do your will" for you. The problem is that estate planning is actually an extremely complex area of law that sits at the intersection of estate and trust law, family law, real property law, and most pressingly, tax law. Understanding how these areas of law interact is our passion and why we can deliver superior results for your family.
Boutique Experience
We employ technology that allows us to run a lean team and devote our full attention to your individual case and your needs without undue distraction. The focus of our practice is limited to just one thing, estate planning, and so you know that you will receive a relationship-first, tailored experience for you and your family.
