Estate planning
Wills, trusts and directives that fit your life
From a simple will to an advanced trust strategy, your plan is designed for your family, your business and your property, including property across state lines. Explained in plain language, every step.
What a plan usually includes
A will
Who receives what, who settles things, and who raises minor children if neither parent can.
A trust, when it earns its place
The right tool when there is a home, property in more than one state, a business, or children who should inherit in stages rather than all at once. A funded trust also keeps your family out of probate court.
Powers of attorney
Someone you choose to handle money and paperwork if you cannot, so nobody has to go to court for permission.
A healthcare directive
Your medical wishes in writing, and the person you trust to speak for you.
Basic plans and advanced plans
A basic plan protects a family and keeps decisions out of court. An advanced plan goes further for people with significant assets: trusts designed to protect what has been built, plans for a business and its succession, and structures that reduce what the next generation gives up to taxes and administration.
Which one you need is the first thing the free consultation settles, and the questionnaire gives Reuben what he needs to answer it.
Three states, one plan
Families along the Utah, Nevada and Arizona corner often own a home in one state and land, a cabin or a business in another. A plan written for only one of them can leave the rest tied up in court. Because Reuben is licensed in all three, the plan is written once and works everywhere your life does.
How it works
- 1
The questionnaire
Who is in your family, roughly what you have, who you trust. No account numbers, no Social Security numbers. It saves as you go.

Free consultation
Reuben reads your answers before you meet. In person in Las Vegas or by video.

Plan and drafts
A clear quote first, then documents written for your situation.

Review and sign
Every question answered. You sign when the documents say what you mean.
If you already have a will or trust
Bring it. Plans written years ago, or in another state, often need updating after a move, a marriage, a birth, a business, or a change in the law. A review is part of the free consultation.

Common questions
What does a typical estate plan include?
Most plans include a will, powers of attorney for finances and for healthcare, and a healthcare directive. A trust is added when it earns its place: a home, property in more than one state, a business, or children who should inherit in stages.
How long does it take?
The questionnaire takes ten to fifteen minutes. Most plans go from the first consultation to signing in a few weeks, depending on how quickly decisions are made and documents are reviewed.
Do I need to come to the office?
No. The first consultation can be in person at the Las Vegas office or by video. Signing is arranged around what the documents require and where you live.
I already have a will or trust from another state. Does it still work?
Often partly. Plans written years ago or in another state usually need updating after a move, a marriage, a birth, a business, or a change in the law. A review is part of the free consultation.
How are fees handled?
The first consultation is free. After it, you receive a clear quote for the work before anything is drafted.
What should I prepare?
Nothing beyond the questionnaire. If you have existing documents, bring them. Exact account details are not needed until later.
