Several shorter meetings
Work through your plan over several conversations, with time between meetings to consider decisions, talk with family and return with questions.
Explore ↗Timing depends on your needs, the complexity of your plan and when you feel ready. Document preparation, review and signing are separate from funding, ownership changes and other follow-through. Financial institutions, recording offices and others have their own processing times. A focused planning day does not guarantee same-day completion.

The standard we hold ourselves to
“The process was a lot easier than anything I expected. We had a pretty last-minute thing, but Eric and his team took care of us like we were some of his closest friends. Never once did I feel like I was working with a lawyer. But I guess that's what you get when you hire the best.”
