Richard Russell | Springfield Estate Lawyer

Do you worry that estate planning will be time-consuming, confusing and expensive?

Advanced Directive, Buy-Sell Agreement, Durable Power of Attorney, HIPAA Release, Irrevocable Trust, Living Will, Revocable Trust, Will – these are all different types of tools you may need for your estate plan depending on your personal situation. And because your family is unique, a one-size-fits-all plan doesn’t work.

But how do you know if a lawyer is experienced in handling your unique needs, how the process will work and how much it will cost? Do you know what to do after the documents are signed? And how you keep your estate plan current and up-to-date? All this confusion might cause you to put off your estate planning because you fear you will make a bad decision or do it wrong.

I believe that everyone deserves the peace of mind of knowing that their loved ones will be taken care of and their affairs are in order. This is why I developed the Core Planning Process. My Core Planning Process eliminates the confusing legal mumbo-jumbo and identifies the essential steps to create an estate plan that can be upgraded or changed over time as your family situation and needs change.
