Whether it’s preparing wills, setting up trusts, or navigating probate court, I guide families with clarity and compassion. Our goal is to simplify the process so you can make confident decisions about your health, finances, and legacy.

Who Benefits From An Estate Planning Lawyer?

trust & estate lawyer

Because every stage of life deserves better preparation, estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy or elderly. Life changes—marriage, children, property, businesses, caregiving, or incapacity—make a tailored plan essential.


Having wills, trusts, advance directives, and powers of attorney in place ensures your wishes are honored and spares loved ones from added stress during difficult times. Starting now is one of the simplest, most impactful ways to protect your family and legacy.

At The Banks Law Firm, we take the guesswork out of estate planning. Many firms speak in legal jargon—we keep your options clear and practical, so decisions are easier to make. While thinking about incapacity or death isn’t easy, protecting your family’s future is worth it.


It’s almost always less costly—and far less stressful—to plan ahead rather than react later. Let TBLF be your trusted advisors and ensure the details that matter most are covered.
