Hi, I’m Chris and I’m truly grateful you’re here.
At Keepsake Legal, PC, we focus on what matters most to you while guiding you through our simple and stress-free process, so you can feel empowered and supported throughout the journey.
Every family has its own story, and I take the time to understand yours so your plan truly reflects your goals, values, and the people you love. My goal is to help you protect your family, preserve your legacy, and feel confident about the future.
Imagine a month from now, knowing everything is in place—your loved ones protected and your legacy secured. That’s the peace of mind we help you achieve.
OUR PROCESS
Our estate planning process is designed to be simple, comprehensive, and tailored to your family’s needs.
From your first conversation through signing day, you’ll be guided through each decision with clarity and care. We take the time to understand your goals, your family dynamics, and the assets you’ve worked hard to build — then structure a plan that reflects your life as it actually exists.
The result is a clear, well-organized plan that protects what matters most and feels manageable from start to finish.
-
We begin with a consultation to understand your family, assets, and goals, followed by a focused design meeting where key decisions are made thoughtfully and efficiently. Your documents are drafted with precision and reviewed together in plain language. Once finalized, your plan is executed in-office or at your preferred location, and you leave with everything clearly organized and in place.
Estate planning isn’t just about documents — it’s about lasting guidance. That’s why every comprehensive plan includes a complimentary three-year checkup. And whatever the future brings, we’re only a phone call away.
-
A revocable living trust forms the foundation of most comprehensive estate plans. It allows your assets to transfer according to your instructions without unnecessary court involvement and provides continuity if you become unable to manage your affairs.
Each trust is carefully structured to reflect your family, your beneficiaries, and the level of flexibility or protection you want built in.
-
In addition to your trust, your plan includes health care directives and financial powers of attorney so the people you choose can step in if needed.
If you have minor children, you may formally nominate guardians to provide clear guidance to the court. You’ll also receive guidance on properly aligning your accounts and property with your trust so the plan functions as intended.
