Why Estate Planning Matters — From an Attorney Who Gets It

Estate Planning For You

Hi there — I’m a solo attorney here in Colorado, and if you’re like many of my clients, estate planning might be one of those things on your to-do list that never quite makes it to the top. I get it. Life is busy. Thinking about wills, powers of attorney, or what happens after you're gone isn’t exactly fun dinner conversation.

But here’s the truth: estate planning isn’t about death. It’s about making life easier for the people you love.

So What Is Estate Planning, Really?

It’s a simple way to say:

• Here’s who should take care of things if I can’t.

• Here’s who I want to receive my home, savings, or business.

• Here’s how I want my family to be looked after.

  
  

That’s it. It’s not just for the wealthy or the elderly. It’s for anyone who wants to avoid chaos, confusion, or court battles later on.

Why You Might Want to Think About It Now

• You bought a house.

• You got married (or divorced).

• You have kids—or want to name someone to care for them if something happens.

• You care about where your stuff goes and how your family handles things.

If any of these apply to you, it’s time.

What I Can Help You With

I keep things simple, clear, and personal. As a solo attorney, you’ll always work directly with me—no being passed around. I’ll help you:

• Write a will that reflects your wishes.

• Set up powers of attorney so someone you trust can act for you in a crisis.

• Make plans for your home, accounts, or small business.

• Talk through what matters most to you.

  
  

No Legal Jargon. No Judgment.

You don’t need to know the difference between a trust and a will—I’ll explain everything in plain English. You just need to care enough to start.

If you’ve been putting this off, let’s have a quick conversation. Planning ahead is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give your family.
