Everything explained in plain language, on a flat, up-front fee, so you understand what each document does and why you have it.

What New Orleans Customers Say
★★★★★
“They untangled the ownership on a house that had been in my family for three generations and built a plan so my kids won’t face what I did. Enormous relief.”
★★★★★
“Wanted a will and powers of attorney and that’s exactly what they set me up with — no pressure to buy a trust I didn’t need. Flat fee, explained up front.”
★★★★★
“They explained the difference between a will and a trust in a way that finally made sense, then honestly told me a will was enough for my situation.”
★★★★☆
“Thorough and patient with all my questions. The healthcare directive and proxy gave my family clarity we didn’t have before. Scheduling the signing took a little coordinating.”
★★★★★
“After a health scare I finally got my affairs in order. They made a stressful topic feel manageable and had everything drafted and signed within a couple of weeks.”
★★★★★
“Set up a living trust and actually helped me title the assets into it, which I gather is the step most people miss. Felt like they cared whether it would work.”

Questions & Answers
New Orleans Estate Planning FAQs
Do you help families in Metairie and across Jefferson Parish?
Yes. We work with families throughout the greater New Orleans area, including Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Chalmette, and Slidell, across both Orleans and Jefferson Parishes. Estate planning is done based on where you live, and we will make sure your documents are valid where you are.
We own property that has been in the family a long time — does that complicate a plan?
It can, and it is exactly why planning ahead matters here. Property that has passed down informally over generations can create tangled ownership if it is not addressed, and a clear plan now spares your heirs a difficult process later. We will walk you through how to handle it in plain terms.
How much does an estate plan cost, and how does billing work?
For most estate-planning packages we charge a flat, explained fee rather than an open-ended hourly bill, and the initial consultation is free. What you pay depends on which documents your situation actually calls for — we will tell you what you need rather than selling you more than that.
Do I really need an estate plan if I don’t have much?
Most people need at least a will, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives regardless of the size of their estate — these documents decide who makes decisions for you and who cares for your children, not just who inherits money. Without them, the state and the courts decide by default. A basic plan is affordable and spares your family a great deal.
What’s the difference between a will and a trust?
A will directs who inherits your property and takes effect through a court process after you pass. A living trust can pass assets to your heirs without that court process, keep the terms private, and give you more control over timing. A trust is not right for everyone — we help you decide honestly whether you need one or whether a will is enough.
How much does an estate plan cost?
For most estate-planning packages we work on a flat, explained fee rather than an open-ended hourly bill, so you know the cost before you begin. The initial consultation is free. What you pay depends on which documents you need — we will tell you what your situation actually calls for rather than selling you more than that.
What happens if I die without a will?
Your estate passes under your state’s default rules, and a court supervises the process — which is often slower, more expensive, and more public than it needs to be, and may distribute your property in ways you would not have chosen. A will (and, where it fits, a trust) puts those decisions back in your hands.
