Will & Trust Services in the Seattle Area

Jeanette is an attorney based out of the Bellevue area, dedicated to providing personalized estate planning services that meet the unique needs of each client. She understands that every individual has different assets, family dynamics, and future goals, which is why she takes the time to thoroughly assess each case before making recommendations.

Many people are familiar with Wills as a way to distribute their assets after they pass away. However, Jeanette also specializes in both Wills and Trusts, the combination of which can offer additional benefits and protections for you and your heirs. By discussing your specific situation during the consultation phase, Jeanette will determine if a Will or Trust (or a combination of both) is the best option for you.

One common misconception about Trusts is that they are only beneficial for those with large estates. However, this is not always the case. Trusts can be an effective way to protect assets from creditors, provide for minor children or family members with special needs, and even minimize estate taxes regardless of the size of your estate.  Trusts are not always the best option for large estates – another misconception.

In addition to assessing your financial situation, Jeanette also takes into account your family dynamics and personal relationships. She understands that these factors play a critical role in determining the best way to leave your estate. By considering all aspects of your life and future prospects, she is able to create a plan that reflects your desires while providing practical guidance on potential issues that may arise.

Jeanette believes in transparency and will discuss all possible options with you, including the pros and cons of each. She wants you to feel confident in your estate plan and understand the implications of your choices. With her expertise and personalized approach, Jeanette strives to provide you with a comprehensive estate plan that meets your current and future needs. Washington estate law is not the same as California or other states.  So, what you may have learned or known before moving to Washington may not apply due to our streamlined, efficient, and relatively inexpensive probate system.  Each situation is unique!
