The Estate Planning Process

Before drafting your will, I will have an in-depth conversation with you. I will learn about your financial situation, your family, your values and your hopes for the future. Then I will draft your last will and testament to help you make sure your family is provided for and protected.

As your life changes, we can update your estate documents and provide additional services as needed. A marriage, divorce, the arrival of a child — these and other events can cause you to reassess your goals. For a reasonable and affordable fee, we can amend a will or other documents to meet your needs.
