Your life and legacy are about more than money, but translating that into legal documents can be confusing. You might think you can do it all online, but you don’t know what you don’t know, and do-it-yourself planning often puts your assets at risk and results in heartache for your family.

Middle & High Net Worth Families

Families with Special Needs

Where Legacy Meets Peace of Mind

Estate Planning

With our life and legacy planning model, we help you confidently make legal and financial decisions so you know you have a plan to keep everyone you love out of court and out of conflict after you pass.

PLAN WITH CONFIDENCE

Protecting Your Future

You keep your affairs private, you have complete control, you cover all scenarios (even the ones you forgot to think about), and you are being a good steward of your legacy.

You Keep Everything Private

Probate court is public. Without proper planning, your private affairs can be exposed for anyone to see, even on YouTube. Plan ahead to keep your legal, financial, and family matters private.

You Have Complete Control

Without an estate plan, a judge decides your legal, financial, and medical matters. They don’t know you, your family, or your wishes. Take control now and document who will make decisions for you.

You Cover All Scenarios

Internet wills and trusts often miss unique family and asset needs. You get what you pay for. Our planning process protects your loved ones and ensures your estate plan covers your entire situation.

You Are Being A Good Steward

Life and legacy planning is not just about death. It helps clients protect everything and everyone they love while becoming better parents, business owners, and community members.

Meet Your Trusted Advisor

Hello, I am Jon Kirk.

As your Certified Personal Family Lawyer, I specialize in moving beyond traditional document-based law. I provide the high-level guidance usually reserved for the ultra-wealthy, making it accessible to families like yours.

"My clients love the time and energy I put into educating and guiding them to plan for potential issues that other attorneys and online document preparation systems routinely miss. I love hearing my clients say, ‘Wow! There is so much more to this process than I thought!’"

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I really need an estate plan if I’m not wealthy?

    Yes—because estate planning isn’t just about money. It’s about questions like: Who would raise your kids? Who would handle your finances? Would your family have to go to court? You don’t need to be wealthy to care about those things—you just need to care about your family. You also have to consider what you are worth dead. That number is more than your current net worth if you have life insurance.

  • What’s the difference between a will and a trust?

    A will tells the judge where you want things to go—but it still goes through probate. A living trust is a legal tool that passes your property to your loved ones privately, efficiently, and without court involvement. Families who want to avoid court choose a trust-based plan.

  • What is probate?

    Probate is a court case during which the court validates your will (if you have one), chooses who will handle your estate, supervises the payment of debts, and approves how and when your assets are distributed. The process generally takes 6 – 9 months (sometimes longer), involves legal fees, and becomes part of the public record where everyone can see what you owned, who inherited your property, and what or how much each person inherited—which is why many families plan ahead to avoid it by setting up a trust.

  • How much does an estate plan cost?

    It depends on your situation and goals. We’ll walk you through your options clearly before you make any decisions. Our clients pick their fee at the intersection of their needs and their budget.

  • How long does the process take?

    Most clients complete their plan within 6 – 8 weeks. We guide you step-by-step so it’s simple, efficient, and not overwhelming.

  • Is this going to be complicated?

    Our process is designed to be clear, simple, and educational, so you feel confident every step of the way.

  • What makes Kirk Law different?

    We focus on one thing: keeping families out of court and out of conflict. We take an education-first approach, so you understand your options and make confident decisions for the people you love. Our flat-fee plans allow you to ask as many questions as you want without having to worry about getting an invoice for a phone call or email.

  • Can I just DIY this online?

    You can also cut your own hair. Sometimes it works. Sometimes… not so much. Seriously, DIY planning gives you essentially one-size-fits-all documents that don’t take into account many considerations that are unique to your circumstances. Consequently, a lot of those plans fail and result in court and conflict.

  • Can I control how and when my kids receive money?

    Yes. A trust allows you to protect your children from receiving money too early and set guidelines for how it’s used—for education, milestones, or long-term support.

  • Can I protect my children’s inheritance from divorce or creditors?

    Yes—with proper trust planning, you can help ensure your children’s inheritance stays protected, even in difficult life situations.

  • What if I move?

    You don’t need to wait to plan just because you might move.A properly designed estate plan will still work in most states, and any updates after a move are typically quick and straightforward. The bigger risk is not having a plan at all in the meantime.

  • What’s the next step?

    The next step is simple: schedule a consultation. We’ll learn about your family and explain your options in plain English. You can also attend one of our live educational seminars if you want to meet us before a one-to-one meeting.
