Estate Planning Law Firm · Washington, DC · Maryland colle@Pwlegacylaw.com

What we help with

The legal tools,
in service of your life.

Wills, trusts, and powers of attorney are instruments, not the point. We start with your family and your property, then choose the tools that carry your decisions forward.

01

Revocable Living Trust Plans

Plans that actually work.

A complete plan built around your family, your property, and your wishes, including the trust itself, the supporting documents, and the funding step most people never finish.

  • Revocable living trusts
  • Funding of one qualifying primary residence
  • Coordinated beneficiary guidance
02

Wills & Foundational Planning

A clear place to begin.

If a trust is not the right tool for you yet, we build a thoughtful foundation: who decides, who inherits, who cares for your children, and what happens next.

  • Last wills & testaments
  • Guardianship nominations
  • Personal property direction
03

Incapacity Planning

Decisions made while you can.

The hardest moments are rarely the ones we planned for. We put the right people and the right authority in place before anyone needs them.

  • Financial powers of attorney
  • Health care directives
  • HIPAA authorizations

Every engagement is scoped in writing. Specific inclusions, including trust funding, are governed by the terms of your engagement agreement.

Trust funding matters

Creating your trust is only part of the job.
We also help you put your plan into action.

That is why our Revocable Living Trust Plan includes the preparation and funding of one qualifying primary residence into your trust, subject to the terms and scope of your engagement. We would rather do that work with you now than have you find out it was never finished at the moment your family needs the plan most.

Your trust shouldn’t just exist. It should work.

Planning for the inevitable

Death is one of the few things
every one of us has in common.

We cannot prevent the people who love us from grieving when we die. But thoughtful planning can keep that grief from being compounded by confusion, unanswered questions, unnecessary court proceedings, and decisions we could have made for ourselves.

Estate planning lets us make those decisions while we are able to make them, and leave the people we love a roadmap for the moment they need it most.

Estate planning for real life

Your plan should be able to change with you.

We do not treat estate planning as a one-and-done transaction. It is a way of putting your intentions in place and revisiting them as your life evolves.
