Estate planning can be overwhelming on multiple levels. It forces us to confront our mortality and to consider topics and issues many find uncomfortable. If that were all, estate planning could still be bearable, but add the requirement that attorneys be involved, and many people just sigh and decide to put off thinking about it for a couple more years.

Since you are reading this, congratulations on overcoming the inertia that over half of Americans will fail to overcome. From here, it's my goal to provide a seamless and streamlined experience that results in a complete estate plan quickly and without any headaches.

The process is simple.
Step 1: Schedule your estate planning consultation.

Step 2: Complete a short questionnaire and send it to me a day or two before our meeting.

Step 3: Attend your estate planning consultation, where we will discuss your goals and objectives.

Step 4: Wait one to two weeks.

Step 5: Review drafts of your estate planning documents and schedule a date to sign your estate planning documents.

Step 6: Sign your documents and rest easy knowing that you've checked off a major item from your to-do list.
