Practice Areas

KHS Headshot smAs an estate planning attorney in the Castle Rock, Colorado area, I can help your family or business with a wide range of legal matters.   My firm is different in that it was built with the needs of growing families, and growing businesses, in mind.

As a parent or business owner (or both!), we understand you are BUSY.  Yet you want to know you’ve made the best decisions for your family or business.  You want to make sure your family and children will be taken care of and will be prepared to receive your wealth, both financial and intangible, if anything happens to you.  You also value ease, convenience and efficiency.    

That is my firm’s focus as well. We’ve developed unique systems so you can have the guidance you need to build and maintain a life of prosperity and wealth. We encourage communication with our clients. In fact, for the majority of matters, we  bill on a flat-fee basis, agreed to in advance, so there are never any surprise expenses.  We want our clients to never be afraid to call with a quick question.

Our clients benefit from the individualized caring legal services we offer the whole family  – so become part of our client family and feel how much we care.

Probate and Estate Administration

So you have been appointed as the personal representative or trustee in a will, now what? Should you file a small estate affidavit? Should the probate be supervised or unsupervised? What estate taxes are due? I can answer these questions.
