Our story

Started after one probate case too many.

Catherine Hartwell spent her first years in practice settling estates that a simple plan would have made easy. She opened the firm to do that planning first.

Today three attorneys and a small team help families plan, update and settle estates, with flat fees and documents written in plain English.

  • Flat fees quoted in writing
  • Home and hospital signings
  • Free plan reviews every three years
