Personal Counsel Membership Plans

WILLS * TRUSTS * ESTATES

Protect your family and your legacy.

Whether you need a simple will or an entire living trust package, we will help you design your legacy.

​So many law firms just create a few documents and send you on your way with a pretty binder. Everyday people die with estate plans that were never fully funded or kept up with the changing laws because their lawyer had not kept in touch with them and left them to believe that the dusty binder on the shelf was all they needed. We've worked hard to actively care for our clients, keep up with the changes in their lives and the changes in the law. Your legacy and family are important to us.

____

This is why we created a specialized approach to estate planning. First off, we charge a flat fee for your initial, fully customized estate planning package. We want you to rest assured that you won't have surprise fees and costs. Everyone who completes their estate planning with us has the option to enroll in our Personal Estate Counsel membership plan.

FAQs

How does the subscription billing work?

Subscription billing helps you avoid suprise bills. We invoice a flat monthly fee and complete the work within the projected timeline. Say goodbye to hourly billing! The monthly fee reserves time in our calandar for your legal needs so it is considered earned upon receipt and you aren't charged minute by minute.

How soon will I be able to become a subscription client?

Estate planning clients who completed their estate plan with us are automatically eligible. If you completed your estate plan with a different attorney please give us a call to see if we are a fit.

What if I need a customized subscription?

The subscriptions listed on this site can be modified to fit your situation. Let's schedule a call to chat about your particular needs.

What if I need additional services above what's included in the subscription?

If you have additional needs for services that fall outside of your subscription, you can add a short-term legal project for a flat fee. At any point during the engagement, you can upgrade your subscription to the next tier.

How long is the commitment?

All of our subscriptions are on a month-to-month basis. You may cancel your subscription at any time. If we find that you are not a fit for our firm we will cancel your subscription.

What if my needs change during the course of the subscription?

We proactively review your subscription usage and, if needed, address changes quarterly. If your needs increase or decrease, we will restructure the subscription to fit your personal needs, including suggesting returning to only flat-rate projects, when appropriate.
