Our Process

Our estate planning process delivers clarity, confidence, and long-term partnership. We begin with a complimentary Discovery Call to understand your goals, concerns, and family dynamics—and ensure we’re the right fit to work together.

From there, we guide you through a Legacy Design Planning Session. During this in-depth meeting, we counsel you on the legal realities of your current situation and explore what would happen to your loved ones and assets under existing law. Together, we design a comprehensive plan aligned with the outcomes you truly desire.

Throughout the process, we provide thoughtful guidance on personal and financial decisions, ensuring each choice supports your larger vision. In subsequent meetings, we finalize instructions and capture your family values, stories, and intentions through a recorded interview—preserving not just your assets, but your legacy.

Our relationship does not end when documents are signed. We offer lifelong, regular review meetings to keep your plan current as your family grows and circumstances change—all delivered for a clear, predictable flat fee.

Special Needs Planning

We design special needs trusts with detailed Letters of Intent, care manager guidance, and ongoing support as family dynamics evolve—protecting public benefits eligibility while maximizing gifts, resources, and lifelong care.

Lifelong Partnership

We build lifelong relationships as your trusted family advisor. That’s why we use transparent flat fees and never charge to review or update the plans we create together—so your planning stays aligned as life evolves.
