Common Questions About Our Estate Planning Law Firm

We’re here to help!

How do I know if I’m choosing the right estate planning attorney?

Look for someone who listens to you, explains things clearly, and treats your family like more than just paperwork. Heather’s clients say they chose her because she made them feel safe, seen, and fully supported from day one.

What should I expect during the first meeting?

You won’t get a sales pitch — you’ll get a real conversation. Heather will ask about your goals, concerns, and family dynamic, then walk you through the options that fit your life.

Why not just use an online will or trust service?

Because your life isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither should your plan be. Online documents can’t listen, guide, or protect your family through hard times. Heather can.

What’s included in a full estate plan with Heather?

In addition to the basic documents, our plans include enhanced protections to ensure your plan will actually work when you need it to! We will also include a Kids Protection Plan TM to ensure you kids are raised by the people you love, a plan diagram, letters to fiduciaries, Trust ID card, complimentary 3-year reviews, asset inventory, and more!

Is it worth it to hire an attorney for this?

In our meeting, we will cover exactly what it will cost your family if you do not have a properly drafted plan.
