How We Help

Plans that hold up when they're needed

A good estate plan answers the hard questions before anyone has to ask them. Charles drafts plans that are clear, enforceable, and matched to Colorado law — not internet templates that fall apart in probate.

Wills — clear, valid, and current, so your property passes the way you intend.
Trusts — revocable living trusts and tailored arrangements to manage assets and avoid unnecessary probate.
Powers of Attorney — financial and medical agents you choose, with the authority they'll actually need.
Medical Directives & Living Wills — your healthcare wishes, documented and honored.
Probate Administration — guiding personal representatives through Colorado probate efficiently and correctly.
Guardianships & Conservatorships — protecting loved ones who can no longer protect themselves.
LLC & Business Formation — forming Colorado LLCs and small businesses, with operating agreements and the state filings done right the first time.

Ready when you are — talk it through with Charles.

Your choice: no-charge 20-minute phone call OR in-depth hour ($300) — both directly with Charles.

For every season of life

New parents naming a guardian, blended families balancing obligations, retirees consolidating decades of assets — your plan should fit your life today and adapt as it changes. Reviews and updates keep it that way.

Fees you can plan around: clear fee agreements, flexible payment plans through Affirm, and secure payments with Square.
