Our Process
Here’s how our estate planning process works for families across Dublin and Central Ohio:
Free Discovery Session
It starts with a no-cost, 90-minute consultation, usually in our Dublin office on Bradenton Ave, right near the Coffman Park splash pad. You’ll meet with our intake specialist, not a salesperson. We listen first, ask questions about your family, goals, and finances, and outline the process in plain English. Bring any and all questions you might have.
Customized Planning, Step by Step
You’ll receive a custom roadmap based on your situation. We explain every option: wills, revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, special needs plans, and Medicaid strategies.
We’ll walk you through scenarios that matter to Dublin residents, like protecting your new home in Tartan Fields, or planning for blended families after a Dublin City Schools graduation.
Draft, Review, and Sign
You get to review drafts in advance, at your own pace. Since every cost and step is discussed before you sign anything, there are no surprises. Once everything is ready, you’ll come in to sign with your attorney and a notary. We hand you a binder with every document your family or executor could need, organized, labeled, and explained.
Ongoing Support
Questions after you leave? Need to update a trust or power of attorney after a move or family change? Call us anytime. Most calls get a live answer by a real person, and emails never go ignored. We know life in Dublin moves fast, so do we.
