We meet together for your Family Wealth Planning Session where the sole purpose is to get you more informed.

Before your Family Wealth Planning Session, you will complete your Family Wealth Inventory & Assessment, which will help you to get clear about what you own and what you have to think about when it comes to planning for the well-being and care of your loved ones and your belongings.

If you decide the current state of affairs is unacceptable, and if we both decide that it is a fit to work together, then we will design an estate plan together that will best suit the needs of your family.

The foundation of your estate plan will often include a revocable living trust, which, when done correctly and maintained over time, should help your family avoid the cost and delay of the public probate process and minimize or eliminate estate taxes.

For people with additional needs, we provide advanced estate planning services.

We get this question all the time.

Unfortunately, most DIY plans do not work because much of what passes for estate “planning” is little more than word processing.

You answer a few automated questions and then the drafter (normally just software, not a human being) decides which “plan” is right for you. And then you are forced into a template document that may not reflect your needs or situation whatsoever.

This is not estate planning; this is little more than a “search and replace” of your family’s name and then the hit of the “print” button.

Rebecca Hill, your Personal Family Lawyer® will educate you and take the time to get to know you, your family, your concerns, your goals and your issues.

Ms. Hill will gladly and patiently answer all your questions to design an estate plan that is exactly right for you and will keep your loved ones out of court and out of conflict.
