Why Littleton Families Choose Law Mother
Most estate planning attorneys hand you documents and send you on your way. We don't work that way. We start with a Life & Legacy Planning® Session to understand your family dynamics, your assets, your concerns, and what you want to protect. Then we create a customized plan that avoids probate, prevents family conflict, and ensures your wishes are honored.
And we're not a one-and-done firm. Life changes—kids grow up, assets increase, relationships shift, laws change. As your family's lawyer for life, we're here for every major transition. We meet with you at least every three years to keep your plan current, and we're always available when life throws unexpected changes your way.

Estate Planning Services We Provide to Littleton Families
- Wills and Trusts Most Littleton 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 distribute assets according to your wishes without court interference.
- Planning for Your Children If you have minor children, your estate plan must include more than guardianship nominations. We create comprehensive Kids Protection Plans that ensure your children are cared for by the right people, with immediate access to funds, and protection from court interference.
- Asset Protection Planning Littleton is full of professionals, business owners, and real estate investors who need to protect wealth from lawsuits, creditors, and failed ventures. We structure your assets to minimize exposure while maintaining access and control.
- Special Needs Planning Families with special needs loved ones face unique planning challenges. We create special needs trusts that provide for your loved one's care without disqualifying them from SSI, Medicaid, or other government benefits they depend on for housing, healthcare, and support services.
- Business Succession Planning If you own a business in Littleton—whether it's a downtown retail shop, a professional practice, a tech company, or a family business—you need succession planning that protects the business you've built and provides for your family when you exit.
- Estate Tax Protection Planning While Colorado has no estate tax, federal estate tax applies to estates over $13.99 million. For Littleton families with significant wealth—whether from real estate appreciation, business success, or investment portfolios—proper planning can save millions in taxes.
- Real Estate Planning Own rental properties in Littleton? A home in Ken Caryl? Investment real estate in Southwest Metro? A cabin in the mountains? We structure real estate holdings to avoid probate, minimize taxes, and protect equity from creditors and lawsuits.
- LGBTQ+ Estate Planning Littleton's diverse community includes LGBTQ+ families who need 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 Littleton 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 care about who makes medical decisions if you're incapacitated, you need an estate plan. Even young Littleton families in starter homes benefit from proper planning.
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. A trust avoids probate entirely, keeping your family out of court and protecting privacy. For most Littleton 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 Littleton 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, know your family situation, or ensure your documents coordinate 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. Littleton families deserve actual planning, not just paperwork.
Life changes require plan updates. Marriage, divorce, births, deaths, relocations, business changes, and significant asset changes all trigger the need for updates. We meet with clients at least every three years to review plans and recommend updates to keep them current with your life and the law.
Colorado's intestacy laws decide who inherits—and it's probably not what you'd want. Your spouse doesn't automatically get everything. Your children's inheritance could go to court-appointed guardians. The probate process in Arapahoe County takes 9-18 months and costs 3-7% of your estate. Planning now prevents these outcomes.
