Practice areas
Each area has its own page: who it's for, what the work involves, and what to bring to a first meeting. If you're not sure which applies, that's what the first conversation is for.
Who receives what, who looks after young children, and who you trust to carry it out.
For property that needs looking after over time, a family member who needs support, or land in more than one state.
Who can sign for you and speak for you, about money and about medical care, if you can't.
Help for executors and families after a death, from the first visit to the Clerk of Superior Court to the final account.
How care at home, in assisted living or in a nursing home might be paid for, and what to put in place first.
Fees
How fees work
No prices on a website can fit every family. Here's how we set them instead.
Before we meet
When you call, we'll tell you whether the first meeting has a charge and how long it usually takes.
Planning work
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney and directives are usually a flat fee, quoted in writing after the first meeting.
Estates
Probate may be hourly or a flat fee. We explain which, what it's likely to involve, and how billing works before you decide.
Choosing where to begin
What if I'm not sure which of these I need?
That's normal. Most people need a few documents that work together, like a will, a financial power of attorney and a health care directive. Tell us about your situation and we'll explain the usual options.
Can one meeting cover more than one area?
Yes. A first meeting often touches on a will, powers of attorney and long-term care at once. The written plan afterward lists each piece and its fee.
Do you handle disputes or lawsuits over an estate?
Our work is planning and administration. If a disagreement turns into a court case, we'll say so plainly and help you find a lawyer who handles that kind of matter.
Not sure which area fits? Start with a conversation
Tell us what's happening, and we'll explain which work usually applies.
