Our Planning Process

We know, beginning your estate plan is a big step.  So our process is designed to ensure your confidence in the planning process each step of the way.  Every decision is carefully reviewed with you and yet the entire process doesn’t stretch out beyond 8 weeks, so you know that within a single month after meeting with your PETER STONE Personal Family Lawyer, your family could be totally protected.

It’s the perfect combination of efficiency and warmth.

The planning process itself begins with an initial meeting that is an opportunity for you to meet with PETER STONE, so that you each can determine whether there is a good fit between you and our firm.

During this initial meeting, PETER will walk you through exactly what your loved ones would have to do and where your assets would go if something happened to you.

Getting Started: Why Work with Calwillstrusts

Before Hiring an Estate Planning Lawyer Understand the Difference

Many estate planning attorneys take a “one-size fits all” approach with their clients; they do this so that they can work with as many people as possible in a short period of time.  The problem is that the client has an impersonal experience; but worse than that, this way of planning can lead to unintended results in the long run for the family.

When lawyers do not take the time to listen and consider a family’s personal circumstances, the result is that your Will &Trust Documents do not end up reflecting what your family really wants to happen.  And usually there is no review or updating, so the plan quickly becomes outdated and does not work when your family needs it most.

Planning for the Lifetime Care of Your Children

Having A Will Simply Does Not Ensure the Care of Your Kids If the Unthinkable Happens!

If you are a parent of children who are counting on you, your estate plan must begin with ensuring your children would always be taken care of by the people you want, in the way you want, no matter what happens.

At PETER STONE, one of our areas of greatest expertise is in planning for the well-being and care of the children you love.
