Once your consultation has been confirmed by our staff, we will send you an intake form based on your specific needs. It is important that you bring the completed form to the consultation with you in order to avoid a delay in getting you in to see the attorney at your scheduled time. Bring all existing estate planning documents with you. This includes your Will, Power of Attorney, and Trusts. It is important to review these documents so we can help you develop a new estate plan or change an existing one. Be prepared to discuss your short and long-term goals so our attorneys can give you options to achieve them. For example, if you are creating a trust, are you focused on planning for nursing home care or are you simply attempting to avoid probate?
