Preparing for the inevitable events of life, such as death or incapacity, is crucial.

The advance planning you undertake today can mean the difference between leaving a lasting legacy of love and care for your family or subjecting them to untold hardships and complications.

Your Trusted Estate Planning Partner

Aloha! I'm Keoni Souza, and I'm here to empower busy families in Hawai`i, just like yours. I understand the importance of protecting all that you cherish — your loved ones and your hard-earned assets. My journey in law, beginning in 2014, has been dedicated to steering families clear of the conflicts and uncertainties that arise during incapacitating events or the loss of a loved one.

In 2017, I embarked on a mission. I left a traditional law firm setting to establish a practice that's not just for the elderly but for families still growing and actively pursuing success. Why? Because estate planning isn't just about the end of life; it's about preserving and celebrating life at every stage.

My Personal Connection

My passion for estate planning is deeply rooted in my own family experience. Witnessing my mother's sudden incapacity at 52, with no prior arrangements, opened my eyes to the turmoil that follows. I've lived through the stress, financial burden, and emotional strain that could have been avoided with proper planning. My goal is to ensure no other family has to endure such hardships.

Making Estate Planning Accessible and Comprehensive

I know life is busy. That's why I've made my services as accessible and straightforward as possible. Planning for your family's future should be convenient, not another chore. I offer online meetings, allowing you to plan from the comfort of your home, at your own pace.

My approach goes beyond traditional estate planning. I focus on:

Child Protection: Ensuring your minor children never end up in the hands of strangers or in the system in your absence.
Inheritance Security: Guarding your children’s inheritance from external threats like lawsuits, divorces, or personal crises.
Legacy Preservation: Helping you pass on your life stories, values, and experiences, not just financial assets.
Plan Adaptability: Regular reviews to keep your plan aligned with life changes and legal updates.
Lifelong Support: Providing a familiar, trusted guide for your loved ones in times of need.

Recognized and Trusted

It's an honor to be recognized by those I've had the privilege to assist. My dedication to providing heart-centered, comprehensive service is reflected in the 5-star ratings graciously bestowed by my clients on Google and Facebook. These testimonials speak to the trust and confidence families place in my expertise and approach.

Adding to this accolade, I was featured nationally on the cover of Top 100 Magazine's "Top 100 Attorneys" edition, a testament to my commitment in the field of estate planning. This recognition is not just a personal milestone but a reflection of the positive impact my services have had on the lives of numerous families throughout Hawai`i.

Each review, each story, and each acknowledgment fuels my drive to continue delivering exceptional service and peace of mind to families navigating the essential journey of estate planning.

Deeply Rooted in Hawai`i

Born and raised in Hawai`i, I have deep roots in this community. I proudly graduated from the University of Hawai`i and went on to pursue my passion for law and business, earning both a Juris Doctor (J.D.) and a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) from the University of San Francisco.

My professional journey has encompassed invaluable experiences in both the government and private sectors. During my time in the private sector, I had the privilege of appearing before numerous judges in our Circuit Courts. It was during this time that I fully recognized the pressing need for comprehensive estate planning services. My background and multifaceted expertise allow me to approach estate planning with a comprehensive perspective, informed by both legal acumen and business insights. 

As a native of these islands, I am not only committed to providing exceptional legal services but also to serving the community that has shaped me. Hawai`i is not just a place I call home — it is my inspiration, my motivation, and the driving force behind my unwavering dedication to helping families like yours protect what matters most.
