Estate Planning Services We Provide to Colorado Springs Families
- Wills and Trusts Most Colorado Springs families own homes, have retirement accounts, and need more than a basic will. We help you determine whether a revocable living trust makes sense for your situation and create documents that avoid probate, protect your privacy, and ensure your assets go to the people you choose.
- Planning for Your Children If you have minor children, guardianship nominations aren't enough protection. We create comprehensive Kids Protection Plans that ensure your children are raised by people you trust, with immediate access to funds for their care, and protection from court-appointed guardians who don't know your family.
- Asset Protection Planning Colorado Springs has successful business owners, medical professionals, military officers, tech entrepreneurs, and real estate investors who need to protect wealth from lawsuits, creditors, and business failures. We structure your assets to minimize exposure while keeping them accessible and under your control.
- Special Needs Planning Families with special needs loved ones require careful planning to preserve government benefits while ensuring lifelong care. We create special needs trusts that provide for your loved one without disqualifying them from SSI, Medicaid, or other critical benefits.
- Business Succession Planning If you own a business in Colorado Springs—whether it's a defense contractor, a professional practice, a retail business, a tech company, or a family business—you need succession planning that protects what you've built and provides for your family when you exit.
- Estate Tax Protection Planning While Colorado has no state estate tax, federal estate tax applies to estates over $13.99 million. For Colorado Springs families with significant wealth from business success, real estate appreciation, or investment portfolios, proper planning can save millions in taxes.
- Real Estate Planning Own rental properties in Colorado Springs? Multiple homes? Investment real estate? A vacation property in the mountains? We structure real estate holdings to avoid probate, minimize taxes, and protect equity from creditors and lawsuits.
- LGBTQ+ Estate Planning Colorado Springs' growing LGBTQ+ community needs estate planning that protects chosen families, non-traditional relationships, and parental rights. We create documents that prevent discrimination and family interference, ensuring your wishes are honored.

Common Estate Planning Questions From Colorado Springs Families
Yes. Estate planning isn't just about wealth. If you have minor children, own a home (even with a mortgage), have retirement accounts or military benefits, or care about who makes medical decisions if you're incapacitated, you need an estate plan. Even young Colorado Springs families benefit from proper planning.
A will goes through probate—a court process in El Paso County that takes 9-18 months, costs thousands in attorney fees and court costs, and becomes public record. A trust avoids probate entirely, keeping your family out of court and protecting privacy. For most Colorado Springs families with homes, retirement accounts, or minor children, a trust is the better option.
Our planning fees depend on your family situation, asset complexity, and the level of protection you need. We're transparent about costs upfront and offer payment plans to make estate planning accessible for Colorado Springs families at every income level. Most comprehensive plans range from $3,500 to $7,500.
Online document services sell forms, not planning. They don't understand Colorado law, don't know your family's unique situation, and don't ensure your documents work together properly. When something goes wrong—and it often does with DIY plans—your family pays far more fixing problems than you saved on cheap documents. Colorado Springs families deserve real planning.
Life changes require plan updates. Marriage, divorce, births, deaths, military transfers, career changes, and significant asset changes all mean your estate plan needs updating. We meet with clients at least every three years to review plans and recommend updates to keep them current.
Colorado's intestacy laws decide who inherits—and it's probably not what you'd choose. Your spouse doesn't automatically get everything. Your children's inheritance could go to court-appointed guardians. The probate process in El Paso County takes 9-18 months and costs 3-7% of your estate. Planning now prevents these outcomes.
