Estate Planning
Estate planning: What does it even mean?
Basically, when you die, all that was considered solely “yours” while you were alive becomes part of your “estate” at your passing — so estate planning is, morbidly, distribution of what is considered solely yours at your death.
What happens to your stuff? Your Florsheim shoes, your Pandora jewelry, your DeWalt tools, your classic Pontiac? Or maybe you just know your family will fight to the death over your collection of trolls from the 1980s and your Cabbage Patch Doll that still has her birth certificate…
Complexities may increase with net worth, but even the most modest households deserve a complete estate plan not only to secure your legacy but also to preserve your dignity (and that of your family, because Cabbage Patch Doll fights can be ugly).
You can protect and prepare for what lies ahead by inserting estate planning bricks in your foundation now.

Legal needs and questions rarely fit into a simple box or category. I dedicate my time and experience adapting to clients and pinpointing their specialized needs regarding dispute management, mediation and reconciliation, litigation mitigation, and basically any situation in which you feel like telling (or yelling at) someone, “Hey, call my lawyer!”
It’s not your responsibility to know what type of law applies to your need: That’s my job. Share your concerns with me, and I will decide how I can best serve you.
