FAQs
Which service is right for me?
During an initial discovery meeting, we will work together to determine the estate planning or probate and trust administration solution most appropriate for your circumstances. Depending on your needs, this may involve the preparation of a will, the creation of a full trust, or guidance through the probate process.
Can you update an existing will or trust?
Yes. We review your current documents, recommend necessary changes, and ensure they reflect your current wishes and Colorado law.
Do you offer different plans?
We do not offer pre-set packages of documents; instead, we tailor each estate plan to fit your specific needs. This may range from the preparation of a Last Will and Powers of Attorney to the creation of a Revocable Living Trust with provisions designed to address your family’s unique circumstances.
Are meetings virtual?
