Estate Planning Process

  • INITIAL CONSULTATION- During this meeting all relevant information will be collected to prepare the entire estate plan.

  • CONFERENCE CALL MEETING- After the Rough Draft Review, clients and the attorney will meet  - usually done over the phone.  At this meeting the clients will get all their questions and concerns resolved.  If so directed, the attorney will make any changes requested by the clients.
  • DOCUMENT SIGNING- After all concerns that were raised in the Confernce Call Meeting are resolved the clients will meet in person with the attorney and all relevant documents will be signed.
  • ESTATE PLAN DELIVERY- After the Document Signing the appropriate number of copies are made for the client.  If real estate is to be transfered into the trust, this will be done by the attorney.  When this is completed, the final documents are delivered to the clients.

Estate Plan Review

Many people already have a comprehensive estate plan, but they are concerned because it was prepared many years earlier or they want to make changes to it.  Estate Plan Review is a service provided.  A flat fee is charged for reviewing the estate plan and going over it with the client.  If changes are needed, modifications are provided on an hourly basis.  An estimate of the time needed will be provided in advance so there are no surprises.
