Protect your future by establishing a clear estate plan in writing. With your estate plan, your assets will be distributed based on your wishes once you pass away.

James H. Hard
Attorney at Law
Although I have been running my own law firm since 1972, I first worked for a CPA firm where I practiced estate planning and tax planning, which is where I got my start in this field of law. Since then, I have acquired invaluable knowledge and insight on how to provide my clients with effective solutions for all of their estate planning or probate needs. I also pride myself on my ability to connect with my clients because you deserve custom-tailored strategies that put you and your family in the best position possible when you pass away.
MORE ABOUT MEIt's Never Too Early to
Create Wills & Trusts
You Can Modify Them Whenever Life Happens
The earlier you establish your estate plan, the better. Should you move, get married, or have a grandchild, for example, you can make amendments to your wills or trusts to keep it concurrent with your assets, treasures, and belongings. If you need to change your estate plan, I can guide you through the process when that time comes.
Prepare for the Unexpected
Though it may seem difficult to think about your death or leaving your friends and family too soon, it will benefit those you love the most the earlier you create a will or trust. Should you pass or become incapacitated unexpectedly, your family will save time, money, and stress as they take your estate through the probate process.
