HELPING FAMILIES PROTECT
A LIFETIME OF WORK

Welcome to Legacy Design Strategies,
An Estate and Business Planning Law Firm

You have people you care about.

You want to maintain control of your life and your assets.

You’d like to leave a legacy.

You’d enjoy some peace of mind.

We can help.

When it comes to estate planning, it’s not about documents – it’s about results. You can be in control, even through disability, and you can be sure that your needs are met, your wishes are followed, and your dreams for your loved ones are fulfilled.

With a little bit of legal counsel and advice, you can be sure that your wealth goes to whom you want, when you want, and in the way that you want. You can keep the family business in the family; protect your children or grandchildren’s inheritance from creditors and predators; care for loved ones with special needs; avoid losing your lifetime savings to nursing home costs; and benefit those causes that are the most important to you.

The Legacy Design Distinction

We actually help our clients to design their own legacy that can live on for generations. We help you to move from Success to a level of Significance that will not soon be forgotten.

Our attorneys are legal counselors who take time to get to know you and your family; to learn about your goals and wishes; to discuss any challenges that might stand in the way; to educate you on the legal options that are available; and to offer comprehensive planning solutions that will meet your needs.

This type of planning for life and planning for generations is the only type of law that we practice. No distractions. It’s all about creating comprehensive and unique plans that work. It’s all about creating peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

Estate Planning

Estate planning is at the core of everything we do. A properly drafted estate plan will replace the terms of the State’s estate plan with your own.

There are many legal strategies involved in estate planning, including wills, revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, durable powers of attorney, and health care documents.

Medicaid Planning
& Elder Law

Elder law is another aspect of estate planning, focusing primarily on the needs of families and individuals as they age.

Issues of aging include senior housing and home care, long-term (or nursing home) care, guardianships and health care documents, Medicare and Medicaid.

Business Law

Often, personal estate plans involve family businesses. We will ensure that your personal estate plan works seamlessly with your business interests.

Whether the business is a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, C-Corporation, or S-Corporation, we will ensure that your personal estate plan works seamlessly with your business interests.

Trust Administration
& Probate

The probate or trust administration process occurs during an emotional time and the complex, detailed tasks associated with the process can only add to the stress.
