What are you looking for in an estate planning and elder law firm?
When it comes to estate planning, a “one-size-fits-all” approach will most likely fail and does not take into consideration your unique family dynamics, assets, and values. The goal of too many estate planning law firms is to work with as many people as possible in a short period of time to maximize their profits. Unfortunately, this leads to problems for families who believed their plan would protect their loved ones when they need it the most.
The internet is full of many DIY services where you can create a stack of documents and temporarily feel protected. Most online DIY “estate planning” services will recommend that you consult with an estate planning professional after you have purchased their set of documents. These services give many people a false sense of security because these services do not
At Colorado Wills and Estates, we believe that the creation of your plan is just the beginning of our relationship. We want to become your trusted advisor throughout your life so that when your family dynamics, assets, or the law changes, we will be there to ensure your plan changes.
Estate Planning and Elder law is all that we do
Would you ask your personal injury attorney to complete your estate plan? Would you want your estate planning attorney to represent you in a contentious divorce case? Would you want to hire an attorney to handle your spouse’s Medicaid crisis planning case when he or she doesn’t focus on this complicated area of the law?
Many attorneys who practice several areas of law will tell you that they can adequately handle these specialized cases even though they split their time and attention between numerous practice areas.
At Colorado Wills and Estates, we focus solely on estate planning and asset protection planning for Medicaid crisis cases. We don’t accept other types of cases because we feel strongly that the best attorneys specialize in their particular areas of expertise.
We are leaders in asset protection and elder law planning strategies
You want to leave your family with a legacy, not legal headaches. If you have assets such as a home, an investment portfolio, retirement accounts, rental properties, or a business, it is important that they are properly protected from the risks of probate and litigation. It’s also important to make sure your estate plan is up-to-date so that any new laws impacting your situation don’t cause unnecessary problems when you pass away.
We can help you determine how best to distribute your assets and protect them for future generations by drawing on our expertise in asset protection planning. We will work with you to develop an estate plan that can protect your assets from creditors, accidental liability lawsuits, divorce, unnecessary estate taxes, and the high cost of long-term care.
We can help you protect your assets even if you or your family member is currently in a healthcare facility and have been told that you need to spend nearly all of your assets before you can qualify for Medicaid. We can also protect your assets if you currently do not need long-term care, but want to make sure that you could qualify for means-based care if you need it in the future.
We help clients and their professional strategic partners
Colorado Wills and Estates work closely with other professionals like certified financial planners, investment advisors, insurance agents, accountants, and tax attorneys to offer a wide variety of services related to estate planning. Our team approach provides our mutual clients with the most comprehensive and effective estate plan.
We focus on your family
Why work with us? Because we will put your family first. Creating a successfully tailored estate plan starts with our discovery process. We want to discuss with you your unique family dynamics, the assets that you wish to protect, and the values that are important to you.
