Estate Planning Services
We hold your future in the highest regard.
Just by navigating to this page, you've taken the first very important step to protecting your future and the future of those you love! Clients who come to Legacy Legal Planning for estate planning usually come here because something's happened in their life that's made them think, "Wait a sec... What happens if *I* pass away?"
This might be...
- A change in family structure (marriage, divorce, new child)
- A diagnosis
- Buying a house or a large asset
- The loss of a loved one
Whatever brings you here, we welcome you. Although thinking about death is unpleasant, we promise to make this process as seamless and fun as possible. Believe it or not, we sometimes crack up laughing alongside our clients at some of the conversations that bubble up throughout the estate planning process.
We always say without an estate plan, the state has a plan for you.
(And you probably will not like it...)
