Estate Planning, Disputes & Probate
Wills, trusts, and succession planning, alongside trust and inheritance dispute resolution and full probate administration when matters reach the courthouse.
Overview
An estate plan is a private architecture for a family's next chapter. We design plans that are technically sound, tax-aware, and — equally important — actually understood by the people who will administer them. The goal is a plan that works on the day it is needed, not one that looks elegant in a binder.
Our approach
We start with the family before the documents. Before drafting, we map the people, the assets, and the relationships, and we ask the questions that bring tensions to the surface while everyone can still talk through them. The drafting follows from that conversation, not the other way around.

Frequently asked
Common questions
- How often should an estate plan be updated?
- We recommend a review every three to five years, and immediately after major life events — marriage, divorce, the sale of a business, the birth of a child or grandchild, or a significant change in tax law.
- Do you handle trust administration after a death?
- Yes. We guide successor trustees through inventory, notice, valuation, funding of sub-trusts, and distribution.
- Can you coordinate with my CPA and financial advisor?
- Yes — and we encourage it. The best plans are built collaboratively across legal, tax, and investment counsel.
