While many varieties of estate planning are available, at Elville and Associates we do not practice the traditional 2-3 meeting planning process. Our approach is more comprehensive and long term. We need to:

  • Really get to know our clients to address their concerns
  • Thoroughly review all choices and planning options with the client
  • Understand the family’s individual dynamics
  • Develop initial estate planning drafts
  • Review the drafts with the client
  • Use feedback to make adjustments
  • Review the revised documents at least two times with the client
  • Prepare, present and have clients sign the final documents and power of attorney
  • Understand and meet with clients to sign funding documents
  • Meet with the client’s family for a post-signing family meeting

Well developed, funded estate planning comprises 3 phases:

  • Plan development and execution
  • Continuing education, maintenance and updating throughout the lifetime
  • Administration at death

Without this depth of process, the planning is one-dimensional, costly and often unsuccessful.
