Most people put this off. The reason is the unknown.
Nobody wants to think about what happens after they are gone, and most people are not sure what a will or a trust actually does. So the plan waits.
Legal problems left alone do not stay small. Simple fixes disappear when you wait too long, and a small question can turn into a large one for the people you leave behind. The way through is not a more complicated plan. It is a clear one, in plain language, that your family can carry out.

Families along the Utah, Nevada and Arizona corner often own a home in one state and land, a cabin or a business in another. A plan written for only one of them can leave the rest tied up in court.
Because Reuben is licensed in all three, the plan is written once and works everywhere your life does.
Common questions, plain answers
What does a typical estate plan include?
Most plans include a will, powers of attorney for finances and for healthcare, and a healthcare directive. A trust is added when it earns its place: a home, property in more than one state, a business, or children who should inherit in stages.
How long does it take?
The questionnaire takes ten to fifteen minutes. Most plans go from the first consultation to signing in a few weeks, depending on how quickly decisions are made and documents are reviewed.
Do I need to come to the office?
No. The first consultation can be in person at the Las Vegas office or by video. Signing is arranged around what the documents require and where you live.
I already have a will or trust from another state. Does it still work?
Often partly. Plans written years ago or in another state usually need updating after a move, a marriage, a birth, a business, or a change in the law. A review is part of the free consultation.
How are fees handled?
The first consultation is free. After it, you receive a clear quote for the work before anything is drafted.
What should I prepare?
Nothing beyond the questionnaire. If you have existing documents, bring them. Exact account details are not needed until later.
Just have a quick question?
You do not need the full questionnaire to ask one. Three fields, and Reuben replies himself.
For an estate plan, the questionnaire is still the fastest start.
Security, and peace of mind.
The people you love will know what to do, and nothing will be left for them to untangle.
