2. Personal Planning Discussion
Next, you’ll meet with a member of our intake team to talk through your needs. We’ll listen carefully, answer initial questions, and prepare for your attorney strategy session.
3. Attorney Strategy Meeting
Sit down with one of our estate planning attorneys to review a custom recommendation built around your life. We’ll walk through probate costs, review your property deeds and account titles, and help you choose the right combination of documents, like wills, trusts, and powers of attorney. You’ll leave this session with a clear roadmap.
4. Drafting and Trust Funding
Within two weeks, we will deliver a full draft of your legal documents. We also help retitle your home, update beneficiary designations, and fund your trust properly, no separate tax ID required. Once you approve, we’ll finalize and organize everything into your signature estate planning binder.
5. Lifetime Guidance & Free Plan Reviews
You’re never on your own. Call us with questions anytime, there’s no charge for quick guidance. Every three years, we’ll invite you in for a free plan review to update your trustees, beneficiaries, or asset list. Because your life will evolve, and your plan should too.
