Why it matters
Two ways this can go.
Without a plan
The court decides who gets what. Your family waits on probate, in public, in the middle of their grief.
- A judge appoints someone to be in charge
- Everything becomes a public record
- Months to years before anyone receives anything
With a plan
You decide. The person you chose steps in the day it's needed, privately, with no court order.
- Your trustee takes over immediately
- Nothing is filed. Nothing is public.
- Weeks, not years
A plan is not paperwork. It is who is protected, who decides when you can't, and what you leave behind.

Your attorney
Meet Brian Knox.
Brian has helped families plan for life and death for nearly twenty years. There is one attorney here, and he does the work himself. You will not be handed off.
You have assets. The legal term for stuff. You want the government and creditors to end up with as little of it as possible, and your loved ones with as much as possible. That is the plan.
Veterans benefits
A veteran serving veterans.
Brian is VA-accredited to represent veterans and their families in claims and appeals in any state. No upfront fees, and in most cases nothing owed unless retroactive benefits are recovered.
Pricing
Clear pricing. No surprises.
One flat fee, agreed first.
Flat fees, not hourly bills. A foundational plan covers the trust, will, powers of attorney, and health care directive.
You hear the exact fee in your consultation, before any work begins.
