LEGACY PLANNING SESSION
At your Legacy Planning Session, we will go over exactly what documents comprise an Estate Plan and what roles you want those in your life to play in your Estate Plan. We will also go over how your assets will be distributed upon your death and what will happen if you become incapacitated.
SIGNING CEREMONY - In Person or Virtual
It’s time to sign your documents of your estate plan. We will have a notary and witnesses to get your documents executed. At this point, you can stop worrying about not having an estate plan because your plan is completed.
IT'S ALL YOURS: BINDER PRESENTATION
We will provide your binder with your full estate plan and a thumb drive with your documents on it. We will review your binder with you and the placement of your documents. At that time, you will have a chance to confirm that everything is the way you want it to be. If you change your mind about anything over the next 60 days, let us know and we will make changes to your documents.
LEGACY VALUES
After we deliver your binder, we will encourage you to focus on capturing your value-based assets. Do you want to leave a video for your family or a family letter. Do you want to share your spiritual values with your family. Do you want to pass on your family pictures and memories to your children or grandchildren.
LIFETIME SUPPORT
We will be here for you as your life changes and you need to make changes to your estate planning documents. We will update and make amendments to your estate plan as those changes become necessary. We will advise you as you look for advisors in other areas of law and finances or if you need lawyers in other jurisdictions. We will also be here for your agents and family if they have questions about your estate plan.
