Why Englewood Families Choose Law Mother

Most estate planning attorneys treat you like a transaction—sign here, pay there, good luck. We don't work that way. We start with a Life & Legacy Planning® Session where we take time to understand your family, your assets, your concerns, and what you're trying to protect. Then we create a customized plan that keeps your family out of probate court and prevents the conflict that tears families apart.

And we're not going anywhere. Life changes—children are born, parents age, assets grow, relationships evolve, laws change. As your family's lawyer for life, we're here through every transition. We meet with you at least every three years to keep your plan current, and we're always here when unexpected life changes require immediate updates.

Estate Planning Services We Provide to Englewood Families

  • Wills and Trusts Most Englewood families own homes, have retirement accounts, and need more than a basic will. We help you determine whether a revocable living trust is right for your situation and create documents that avoid probate, protect your privacy, and ensure your assets go to the people you choose without court interference.
  • Planning for Your Children If you have minor children, guardianship nominations alone 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 or your values.
  • Asset Protection Planning Englewood has professionals, business owners, medical practitioners, and real estate investors who need to protect wealth from lawsuits, creditors, and business failures. We structure your assets to minimize exposure to claims 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 proper care. We create special needs trusts that provide for your loved one without disqualifying them from SSI, Medicaid, or other critical benefits they depend on.
  • Business Succession Planning If you own a business in Englewood—whether it's a retail business near CityCenter, a professional practice, a Denver Tech Center 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 doesn't have a state estate tax, federal estate tax applies to estates over $13.99 million. For Englewood families with significant wealth from real estate appreciation, business success, or investment portfolios, proper planning can save your family millions in taxes.
  • Real Estate Planning Own rental properties in Englewood? A home near Swedish Medical Center? Investment real estate in the Tech Center area? A vacation property? We structure real estate holdings to avoid probate, minimize taxes, and protect equity from creditors and lawsuits.
  • LGBTQ+ Estate Planning Englewood's diverse community includes LGBTQ+ families who need estate planning that protects chosen families, non-traditional relationships, and parental rights for non-biological parents. We create ironclad documents that prevent discrimination and family interference.

Common Estate Planning Questions From Englewood Families

Do I need an estate plan if I don't own much?

Yes. Estate planning isn't just about wealth. If you have minor children, own a home (even with a mortgage), have retirement accounts from your job, or care about who makes medical decisions if you're incapacitated, you need an estate plan. Even young Englewood families just starting out benefit from proper planning.

What's the difference between a will and a trust?

A will goes through probate—a court process in Arapahoe County that takes 9-18 months, costs thousands in attorney fees and court costs, and becomes public record for anyone to see. A trust avoids probate entirely, keeping your family out of court, protecting privacy, and distributing assets faster. For most Englewood families with homes, retirement accounts, or minor children, a trust is the better option.

How much does estate planning cost in Englewood?

Our planning fees depend on your family situation, the complexity of your assets, and the level of protection you need. We're completely transparent about costs upfront—no surprises—and offer payment plans to make estate planning accessible for Englewood families at every income level. Most comprehensive plans range from $3,500 to $7,500.

Can I do estate planning online?

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. Englewood families deserve real planning from local attorneys who know Colorado law.

How often should I update my estate plan?

Life changes require plan updates. Marriage, divorce, births, deaths, relocations, business 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 with your life and changes in the law.

What happens if I die without an estate plan in Colorado?

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 you've never met. The probate process in Arapahoe County takes 9-18 months and costs 3-7% of your estate value. Planning now prevents these outcomes and protects your family.
