Comprehensive Estate Planning Services

Estate planning is not one-size-fits-all. Every plan we create is built around your needs, your life stage, and your goals. Whether you are just starting a family, entering retirement, or managing a growing business in Reston, we make sure your plan fits you — and can grow with you.

Our services include:

Wills

A clear, legally enforceable will that directs how your assets are distributed and helps protect the people you love.

Living Trusts

Avoid the delay and cost of probate with a revocable living trust. A trust provides flexibility and helps manage your estate during your lifetime and beyond.

Durable Financial Power of Attorney

Name someone you trust to make legal and financial decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. This document helps prevent delay in managing your affairs.

Advance Medical Directives

Make sure your healthcare preferences are honored, and name who should decide if you cannot. These documents give your loved ones clarity during uncertain times.

Our Estate Planning Process

We follow a straightforward five-step process so you feel supported the whole way through:

Step 1: Complimentary Call
Start with a call to our client service team. They will listen, answer your initial questions, and help you understand the next step. There is no pressure and nothing to prepare.

Step 2: Designing Your Plan
We design a complete estate plan around your decisions — wills, trusts, powers of attorney, directives, or business documents — that reflects what you actually want to happen.

Step 3: Review and Questions
You review each document and have plenty of time to ask questions. Our goal is for you to understand every part of your plan.

Step 4: Signing
When you are ready, we coordinate your signing and provide the notary and witnesses at our office. You leave with organized copies of every signed document.

Step 5: Ongoing Support
We encourage regular check-ins to update your plan as life changes. Whether you welcome a new family member, change careers, or sell a business, we help keep your plan aligned with your circumstances.
