Our Process

All information provided during your initial consultation is protected by attorney-client privilege.
Engagement & Retention
You will be provided with a tailored engagement agreement based on the plan discussed in your consultation.
Estate planning services can range from short term to long term services. Short term services are utilized to complete specific requests. Long term services may include planning on an ongoing basis to consistently improve and modify your estate plan to adapt to your life goals and changes.
A legal retainer is required to commence service. The retainer is assessed based upon the anticipated time required to complete your services or maintain engagement.
Document Drafting & Review
Once we’ve gathered all of the information required, we will draft your legal documents for your review.
Subsequent consultations will be scheduled to have in-depth conversations about each clause in your legal documents to ensure delivery of your desired goals and understanding of the implications of certain decisions.
This process will continue until you are satisfied with your documents and have a complete understanding of their purpose.
Follow Up & Review
We will periodically follow up with you based on your estate planning goals. This may be every six months, every year, or on a schedule that you determine to review your documents and make any changes necessary to keep them relevant and properly maintained.
