Areas of Practice


Will-Based Estate Planning

Creating a will-based estate plan can ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, provide guardianship for minor children, and designate trusted individuals to make financial or medical decisions, as needed. While a last will and testament is the foundation of this plan, we also include essential documents like powers of attorney and advance healthcare directives to provide comprehensive planning and protection. Although wills go through probate, they remain a straightforward and effective way to ensure your legacy is honored and your loved ones are protected.

Trust-Based Estate Planning


Creating a trust-based estate plan offers a seamless, private, and probate-free way to protect and distribute your assets. By creating a revocable living trust, you maintain control during your lifetime, while ensuring a smooth transition for your loved ones after you pass. Trusts provide greater flexibility, privacy, and protection, allowing you to set specific terms for inheritance, plan for incapacity, and safeguard your legacy without court involvement. This option is ideal for those seeking efficiency, security, and peace of mind in their estate planning.


Legacy Building

Creating a legacy involves more than just your assets—it’s about your personal values, stories, and impact. Every Laurel Estate Plan includes a guided and recorded legacy interview, because your voice matters as much as your documents. Whether you prefer to pass along life lessons, express gratitude, or simply allow your loved ones to keep your voice around, the legacy interview is a wonderful way to stay connected. This turns your plan into something truly meaningful.
