How it works
Step 1: Consultation
We’ll use a 30-minute call to see if we’re a good fit. We’ll discuss your goals, family situation, and the big-picture assets involved, then outline the planning options that make sense and what the next steps should be.
Step 2: Drafting and Review
If you decided to move forward with planning, we’ll prepare drafts of the plan. You’ll review, ask questions, and we’ll refine so it meets your goals.
Step 3: Execution and Implementation
We’ll execute the documents properly and provide practical next-step guidance—such as titling, trust funding, and storage.

Common Questions
Do I need a will or a trust?
1
Most people start with a will and incapacity documents. A trust may be appropriate depending on your assets, family situation, and goals. We’ll walk through the decision in the planning session.
How long does the process take?
2
Many plans can be completed in a few weeks, depending on complexity and scheduling. You’ll get a clear timeline after the planning session.
What should I gather before the planning session?
3
A rough list of assets, beneficiary information, and any existing estate planning documents is helpful—but you don’t need perfect paperwork to get started.
Can we meet virtually?
4
Most meetings can be handled by phone or video. In-person appointments are available by request.
