Common Questions About Estate Planning

Got any questions? We’re here to help!

What is estate planning and why is it important?

Estate planning is the process of arranging your affairs—assets, care, and wishes—for the future. It ensures your loved ones are protected and your wishes are honored without unnecessary court involvement.

How much does estate planning cost?

The cost varies depending on the complexity of your estate and the legal tools you need. We offer transparent pricing and customized plans to fit your situation and budget.

What’s the difference between a will and a living trust?

A will outlines your wishes after death and must go through probate. A living trust avoids probate, giving you more control, privacy, and flexibility over how your assets are handled.

What documents are included in a basic estate plan?

Typically: a will or trust, power of attorney, and medical directives. We’ll recommend what’s best for you based on your goals and family structure.

Is estate planning only for wealthy families?

Not at all. If you have children, a home, or any assets, you need a plan. Without one, the state—not you—decides what happens next.
