Wills, trusts & estate planning FAQs
You can begin without having every answer.
Do I need to know whether I need a will or a trust?
No. The attorney can review your family circumstances, assets, goals, and concerns and explain which documents may be appropriate for you.
What can a complete estate plan include?
Depending on your circumstances, a plan may coordinate a Last Will and Testament, revocable living trust, power of attorney, healthcare directives, living will, designation of healthcare surrogate, and pre-need guardian documents.
Can the firm review documents I already have?
Yes. Existing documents may be reviewed after changes involving family, property, residence, decision-makers, health, or planning priorities. Any recommended amendment or replacement depends on attorney review.
Is estate planning the same as probate?
No. Estate planning focuses on documents and decisions made during life. Probate and estate administration concern matters after a death. The firm is not currently advertising full probate or estate-administration services.
Does submitting an intake mean the firm represents me?
No. Submission begins the review process but does not create an attorney-client relationship. Representation begins only after the firm accepts the matter and a written engagement agreement is signed.
Not sure what you need?
Start with the life you are planning for—not a document name.
An initial conversation can help the firm understand whether it may be able to assist. Later estate-planning services are not implied to be free.
