What inspired you to focus your practice on estate planning?
I’m an organizer to my core. Estate planning is such a rewarding area of law because it allows us to plan and organize how we will own and manage our assets during life and after we’re gone, so nothing is lost, mismanaged, or given to the wrong person. Organizing these details ahead of time gives such peace of mind because we know that if something unexpected happens, there is an organized plan for our loved ones to follow.
Estate planning seems overwhelming. What advice can you offer to help me get started on the process?
Hire a professional to help. There are too many pitfalls for the untrained person to tackle on their own. After spending a lifetime building wealth, don’t bargain hunt to protect what you have built. You need to be confident that what you have prepared for the protection of your assets will work when you need it. Don’t self-prepare a plan and assume it’s okay—causing your loved ones to find out it was done incorrectly when it’s too late to change it.
What is the most rewarding part of your work?
I enjoy helping families find peace of mind. Estate planning keeps people up at night, but it also gets put off during the light of a busy day. At a time when we have very little control over so much in life, this is an area where we can make sure our wishes are honored. When clients complete their plan and leave their signing ceremony—looking like the weight of the world has been taken off their shoulders—I know I have done something good.
