Still Have Questions?
Do I need a trust if I already have a will?
A will is a good start, but it still goes through probate. A trust helps avoid court altogether and gives you more control.
What’s the difference between probate and trust administration?
Probate is a court process — it can be public, expensive, and time-consuming. Trust administration is handled privately and is typically faster and smoother.
How much does estate planning cost?
It depends on your needs, but I’ll always give you clear pricing upfront — no surprise invoices or hidden fees.
What if I don’t know what I need?
Perfect — that’s exactly why I offer consultations. We’ll talk it through and figure out what works best for you and your family.
