THREE LEVELS OF PLANNING

Three Levels of Estate Planning for Your Varying Needs

Estate planning with us is not "one-size-fits-all."

 

We offer 3 levels of planning to suit your varying needs. 

 

From starter plans primarily for families with young children and little in the way of financial wealth to more robust plans for well-established families concerned with matters of asset protection, preservation, and increased growth. 

 

We’ve got you covered.

 

Generally, our fees for a married couple with kids with modest assets not concerned with the probate court process upon death, begin at $3,500.  

 

More extensive plans that provide significant asset protection after death plus maximum protection for your assets from inadvertent loss to the State Department of Unclaimed Property or the Court process are also available.

 

If you need affordable monthly payments, we give you the ability to finance the investment in your family with a buy now, pay later option through ClientCredit.  Applying is quick and easy.

It is our opinion that if you are looking for less expensive planning, you may as well read up and do it yourself because you will get the same quality of planning online as you will with any lawyer charging fees that are less than what we offer here.

 

We’ve priced estate planning for you at the intersection of affordability and effectiveness.

When we meet for your Family Wealth Planning Session, we will review the 3 planning levels with you, and you will choose your own fee based on your budget and the planning options that are most important to you and your family.

 

Our plans are focused on ensuring your family has somewhere to turn if and when something happens to you, that your plan will work and you have real security, not the false security that comes with a cheap set of estate planning documents.

 

There truly is no one-size-fits-all choice.

 

We have created a process, though, to educate you quickly and effectively so that you can make empowered, informed choices about what you want for the people you love so that you aren’t simply choosing the cheapest option because you don’t have any other basis for making your decisions.

Personalized
Service

We believe in personalized service for each and every client.

 

Our approach is educational and proactive – we educate you based on the specifics of your family situation, your assets, and your individual needs, wants, desires and values and then guide you to tell us what you want most, so we can create the plan (and the fee for that plan) that aligns with your objectives for your family and your assets.
