Estate Planning Is Simpler Than You've Been Told

If you've been meaning to get your will done for years, the holdup is usually the assumption that it's complicated and expensive. For most families, it isn't. A basic estate plan is a straightforward matter, and as a wills and estates attorney in Conifer, Colorado, we handle it directly rather than passing it down to support staff.



The cost of putting it off is far higher than the cost of doing it. Without a plan, Colorado law decides who receives your property and who speaks for you, and rarely the way you would have chosen.

The Documents That Make Up a Solid Estate Plan

A complete plan is a small set of documents working together, and we'll help you decide which ones your situation calls for. As a will drafting lawyer serving Jefferson County, we keep the scope focused on what you actually need.


  • A will that directs how your property is distributed and names guardians for minor children
  • Simple estate plans that organize your wishes without unnecessary complexity or cost
  • Powers of attorney that name someone to handle financial matters if you can't
  • Healthcare directives that record your medical wishes and who may speak for you
  • Limited probate assistance for families administering an estate after a loss


As an estate planning attorney in Conifer, CO, we'll tell you honestly which of these your situation needs and which it doesn't.

Your Will Is Yours, Not an Assembly-Line Form

A lot of estate planning today is form-based, with your details dropped into a template and printed out. That approach misses the particulars that matter, such as a blended family, a family business, or a beneficiary who needs special consideration.



We draft your documents around your specific family and financial situation. Working with a Colorado will attorney who gives the matter personal attention is exactly what estate planning requires, because the details are the entire point.

Trust Built Over Decades, Not a Single Meeting

Choosing who to trust with something this personal is the hardest part for most people. Our answer is a simple one: you meet your attorney at the first consultation, and that same attorney drafts and reviews your documents.


Behind that is 36 years of Colorado legal practice and a small-firm model built on direct attorney access. You won't be handed off, and you won't wonder who's actually doing the work.

Wills and Estates Questions, Answered

  • Do I need a lawyer to make a will in Colorado?

    Colorado recognizes valid wills that meet its signing and witnessing requirements, so a lawyer isn't strictly required. The value of an attorney is making sure the document is valid, says what you intend, and accounts for situations a template can miss, which is where do-it-yourself wills tend to fail.

  • Is there an estate attorney near Conifer, CO?

    Yes. Our office is in Conifer, and we handle wills, estate plans, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives for families throughout the foothills. You can meet with us locally rather than driving to a downtown Denver firm.

  • Can you help with a simple will in Jefferson County?

    A simple will is one of the most common matters we handle. We'll prepare it efficiently and at a predictable cost, while still giving it the personal attention that makes sure it holds up and reflects your wishes.

  • Do you handle probate as well?

    We offer limited probate assistance for families administering an estate. We'll review your situation during a consultation and tell you honestly whether we're the right fit or whether your matter needs a dedicated probate practice.
