No incapacity planning: Judge decides who makes living, financial and medical decisions for you.
Many clients who come to me say their estate is simple, their assets are few, and all they need is a "simple" Will.
It is then that we start to discuss what a Will is, how it works, when it takes effect, who it affects, and whether we actually need at Will at all.
I find that people are usually surprised at the answers to those questions when they start to learn the facts and we apply them to their particular home and family circumstances.

Planning Process
Report
You may call, email, or stop in to schedule an initial consultation.
I offer a free initial two-hour consultation where we get a chance to discuss your current family and employment situation.
I ask that you fill out a personal information form that asks questions designed to reduce your family information, professional advisors, real estate and land, cash, investments, vehicles, insurance, and other pertinent information into a single document.
This task greatly enhances the efficiency of our initial meeting, and is very useful as a reference for you to keep on record.
