Families come in all different sizes and types, but all parents (and guardians) have that same set of fears that keeps them up at night. What happens if...? Who will take care of the kids if something happens to me? Who will provide for them they way I would? Who makes sure the insurance I have set up will go to my kids' education and care? As a spouse and a parent, I have these same fears. As an estate planning lawyer, I know how to ease these fears and make sure my kids will be cared for. But that's just the minimum that an estate planning lawyer should provide. My philosophy goes deeper. You have concerns. I want to hear them. You have hopes for your kids. I want to hear them. I take the time to listen to my clients and am transparent about how it works and what it will cost because only your kids should be bringing you surprises. Not your estate attorney.
Small business owners have their own sets of fears. Who will take over the business? Who keeps the lights on if I get hurt? As a small business owner, I understand the passion you have for your business and the need to make sure that you have a solid plan in place to make sure that any transition - planned or otherwise - will go as smoothly as possible.
