What does the process look like?
The estate planning process starts with your consultation with an attorney. After the consultation, our team will prepare a draft of your plan and deliver this through the client portal. Once you have reviewed the drafts, an attorney will meet with you via Zoom for a review meeting. The review meeting is for answering any questions about the drafts and going over requested changes. Once you provide final approval of your drafts, our office will schedule your virtual signing conference. Virtual estate planning allows you to go through the entire process without having to leave home.
