Our approach
What working with us looks like.
First
A real conversation.
A phone call or video meeting to understand your family, your assets, and what matters to you.
Then
A plan built around your life.
We draft the plan ourselves — no template mill, no paralegal hand-off.
Next
Signing & storage.
We walk you through every document. You leave with originals, digital copies, and a plan you understand.
Always
Here when your family needs us.
Estate planning isn't a one-time transaction. We're the firm your family calls when something changes.
In their words
"We've worked with SKN on three generations of family estate matters. Our kids will, too."

Frequently asked
Questions families ask first.
Do I really need an estate plan if I don't own a lot?
Yes. Estate planning isn't about wealth — it's about making decisions now instead of leaving them to a judge later.
Can we do this remotely?
Most of our estate planning clients never set foot in our office. Video meetings, secure document sharing, and mail-in signing make it straightforward.
What does a typical estate plan cost?
We offer flat-fee engagements for most common plans. We'll quote a fixed price at the end of your first consultation.
How long does the process take?
Most plans are complete within 4–6 weeks of the initial meeting.
What's the difference between a will and a trust?
A will directs what happens to your assets after death; a trust can manage assets during your life and after. We'll recommend the right fit in your consultation.
