We've been doing estate planning since 1996. When it comes to estate planning, we will simplify complex concepts and guide you through what can be both a technical and an emotional process.

We have been practicing in the area of estate planning, Wills, Trusts, and probate since 1996. It is our educational approach that distinguishes us from other law firms. We’re able to simplify complex concepts and patiently guide you through what can be both a technical and an emotional process.

Individuals and families trust us with their estate planning needs. We help develop core estate planning documents, such as a Will, Durable Power of Attorney, Health Care Power of Attorney, and Directive to Physicians (commonly called a "Living Will"). In addition, we can assist with integrating other issues into your overall estate plan, such as the sale of a business, charitable giving, lifetime gifting, prenuptial or post-nuptial agreements, or long-term care.

We also assist individuals and professionals serving as Personal Representatives (what used to be called "Executors") and Trustees with the probate process and the administration of various types of Trusts. We help with the filing of court documents, gathering and valuing of assets, and compliance with fiduciary duties. If disputes arise, we provide a range of trust and estate dispute resolution options.

We begin working with you by first getting acquainted. We ask basic questions to determine your specific needs and the best way for us to assist you. Whatever your needs may be, together we prioritize and develop a comprehensive plan tailored for your unique situation. We also strive to give you options. We will match the appropriate vehicle or strategy to your objectives. For each planning technique or each step of an administration, we offer an explanation of benefits and drawbacks, educating you about the law and compliance requirements. We help you compare and contrast the options so you clearly understand the intended outcome.

We represent clients throughout Washington and Idaho and are available to meet in person (with appropriate social distancing protocols in place), by phone, or via video conference.
