FAQ's

Common questions from families planning their legacy.
Why do I need an estate plan?

An estate plan ensures that your wishes are carried out, protects loved ones, avoids unnecessary court involvement, and provides clarity during difficult times.

What's the difference between a Will and a Trust?

A Will directs how your assets are distributed after death, but usually requires probate. A Trust allows assets to be transferred outside of probate, offering greater privacy and efficiency.

How do I know which plan is right for me?

We offer flat-fee planning packages – from foundational will-based plans to advanced trust-based strategies. Together, we’ll review your goals, family situation, and assets to recommend the best fit.

How often should I update my estate plan?

We recommend reviewing your plan every 3-5 years, or sooner after major life events like marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or significant changes in assets.

What is included in an estate plan besides a Will or Trust?

A complete plan often includes powers of attorney, health care directives, and asset alignment to make sure your documents work as intended.

Do you coordinate with financial advisors and accountants?

Absolutely. We believe estate planning works best when it’s integrated with your financial, tax, and insurance strategies.

What should I expect during the initial consultation?

Your initial consultation is complimentary. We’ll spend time discussing your family, your assets, and your goals so you can understand your options. There is no obligation to move forward. Consultations are available in person, via video, or by phone.
