Commonly Asked Questions
What are the benefits of having a will?
Having a will ensures your assets are distributed exactly as you wish, providing clarity and direction for your loved ones during a difficult time. It helps minimize family disputes by clearly outlining your intentions, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or conflicts. Additionally, a will allows you to appoint a trusted guardian for your minor children, ensuring they are cared for in a way that aligns with your preferences and values. Without a will, these important decisions may be left to the courts, which could result in outcomes that do not reflect your wishes.
What's the difference between a will & a trust?
A will and a trust are both estate planning tools, but they serve different purposes. A will becomes effective after your death and outlines how you want your assets to be distributed. It also allows you to name an executor to handle your affairs and a guardian for any minor children. On the other hand, a trust can be effective during your lifetime or after your death and is used to manage your assets in a more complex manner, such as protecting them from taxes or creditors.

Navigating the user-friendly website, completing the initial questionnaire, receiving a prompt response, and meeting with an attorney all helped us understand the possibilities in a way we could comprehend. The initial support team was accommodating and professional. Jon Allison was patient, respectful, and fully present during the review. His expertise and ability to sift through details, listen compassionately and outline options was reassuring. The objective was to reach a mutually agreeable plan of action and we did.

We were being pressured by the other parties insurance company to settle and did not know what we should do. We contacted Austin LiPuma who is a managing partner with the firm who helped us with the entire process.
