HOW TO START

GIVE YOUR FAMILY THE PROTECTION IT DESERVES

By now you have seen that we are different than your typical lawyer and because you love your family and want to keep them out of court and out of conflict when something happens to you, you are ready to take the first steps to get a plan in place.

You know your family deserves the kind of protection, guidance and love we provide for a lifetime.

Now, as you get started, it is important that you know how we work because we do things a bit differently here than at other law firms. That is why our clients love us so much.

YOUR APPOINTMENT OPTIONS

You have three options for your next step:

You can schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to learn more about us and get a few preliminary questions answered. CLICK HERE TO BOOK!

You can schedule your Peace of Mind Planning Session and complete the pre-session homework so that you come in prepared to be educated, informed and make empowered decisions for the people you love. CLICK HERE TO BOOK!

You can schedule your Estate Plan Checkup and Review if you have an existing plan so that you can get educated on whether your existing plan still works for your family or if you have gaps that you must fill to have the peace of mind your family is covered.

HOW LONG IS A PEACE OF MIND PLANNING SESSION?

We block two hours on our calendar for your PEACE OF MIND PLANNING SESSION and we can focus entirely on you and your family during this time.

In advance of your meeting, we will send you a package of information to review and complete before our time together, which will help you begin the process of getting your legal and financial life in order.

During your Planning Session, we will guide you to gently look at what would happen to your loved ones and with your assets if something were to happen to you today. And then we will look at what you want to happen instead and we will help you create a roadmap to get that plan in place as easily as possible.

After meeting with us, our clients routinely say “Wow, if we had known how easy this would be, we would have done it years ago!”

HOW MUCH DOES THE PEACE OF MIND PLANNING SESSION COST?

Our PEACE OF MIND PLANNING SESSION is valued at $750, or if you have existing estate planning documents that you are wanting us to review and potentially incorporate, this meeting is valued at $950.

If during your Planning Session you choose to move forward and we help you design a comprehensive plan, your session fee is applied to the legal fee to create or update your estate plan. In some circumstances we will waive the planning session fee and instead you can secure your appointment time with a credit card number to hold your appointment time to the exclusion of others.

So long as you keep your appointment time as scheduled, nothing will be charged to your card. If you must cancel less than seven days prior to your appointment, we ask that you do so at least one week ahead of time so that we may open our calendars to other waiting families.

We understand that this policy of securing your appointment with a credit card may seem unique. So is our law firm.

We provide our very best service to those families who are looking for a long-term relationship with their trusted advisor. We expend most of our energy providing an exceedingly high degree of service to our existing clients and we limit the number of new clients we see each week.

WHAT TO DO PRIOR TO THE PEACE OF MIND PLANNING SESSION

After scheduling your appointment, you will receive your Peace of Mind Planning Inventory and other important information that you will want to review and complete prior to your personal Family Planning Session.

Your Peace of Mind Planning Inventory is your pre-session “homework.”

We ask that you complete and return your homework to our office at least three days prior to your Planning Session so that we have time to review your information and provide the most valuable counsel we can during your Planning Session.

Feel free to call the office at any time if you need assistance completing your homework or if have any questions at all.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE SESSION

On the day of your meeting, please expect to spend up to two hours with us.

We have two goals at our meeting together:

1. Identify whether there is a good fit between you and us.
2. Educate you about what would happen today if something happened to you so that you know how you can design a different plan if desired.

By looking at what would happen under your current plan, you can identify what you would want to happen differently. Then together with our guidance you can make the decisions necessary (including choosing your own fee) to give you the peace of mind of knowing your family would stay out of court and out of conflict when something happens to you.

Assuming there is a good fit between our firm and your family AND that you identify specific ways you would want things to happen that are different than what would currently happen if something happened to you, we can design a plan for your family right away.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Once we have completed the design of your plan, we will schedule your Signing Ceremony for about a month later where you can sign your complete estate plan.

At your Signing Ceremony we have a process of reviewing your documents with you that makes your plan so easy to understand that you will know for certain that we understood exactly the way you want things to happen when something happens to you and that your loved ones will be in excellent hands with our firm.

Once you sign your your estate plan, your assets and your family are protected.

And we see this as only the beginning of our relationship. You may make changes to your planning documents at no charge for up to 90 days after you sign your plan.

AND THEN?

After you your estate planning binder is complete, the maintenance phase of your plan will begin.

At no additional charge we can review your plan at least every three years and keep you informed about changes in the law and other issues that affect your family and your wealth.

Finally, we are always here for you and we do not charge you for phone calls or emails.

You’ll be amazed at how easy and painless the entire planning process will be for your family and we would love to meet with you for your Family Wealth Planning Session soon.
