“It is such a relief to have completed this process with a thoughtful and caring lawyer like Danny.”Read Google reviews
You can decide who will care for your children and who will act for you.
The documents matter because they record your choices: who should care for your children, who should manage an inheritance, and who can step in if you are unable to act for yourself.
02
Protect what your children inherit.
Decide who manages their inheritance and when they should receive it, instead of leaving those decisions to default rules.
03
Choose who can step in for you.
Name people to handle financial and health care decisions if you cannot make or communicate them yourself.
04
Leave your family the information they will need.
Organize the documents and instructions your family will need, and plan for the transfer of assets with less court involvement where appropriate.
If you do not have children, you can still decide who will act for you during incapacity, who inherits, and what should happen to pets or charitable gifts.
Here’s what happens after you schedule a call.
We meet by video. I’ll help you make the decisions, prepare the documents, and coordinate the signing.
- 1
Start with a free, 30-minute call.
Tell me about your family, what prompted you to plan, and any deadline you have. I’ll explain the process and tell you whether I can help. There is no obligation.
- 2
Work through the decisions in a planning meeting.
We discuss guardians, trustees, inheritances, incapacity, and the other choices your plan needs. I explain what each choice does, and you can ask questions as we go.
- 3
Review the documents, then sign them.
We review the documents together before you sign. I coordinate the signing, then meet with you again to identify which assets should be moved into or otherwise coordinated with the trust.
Have a deadline? Tell me on the introductory call. If your information and decisions are ready, I can often move from the planning meeting to signing quickly.
Meet Danny
I’ll work with you from the first call through signing.
I’ll explain what each choice does, draft the documents, answer your questions, and review everything with you before you sign.
I earned my JD from NYU School of Law and am admitted in New York, Utah, and Colorado. Before law school, I founded and ran Litographs.
After we finish the agreed work, I may invite you to check in once a year. If your family, assets, or the law changes, you can come back to me and we can decide whether the plan needs to change.

What to expect when you make an estate plan
What happens on the first call, in the planning meeting, at signing, and after the documents are complete.
Read the guideBefore you book.
Do I need a trust?
Not everyone does. I will recommend a plan based on your family, assets, goals, and state. A trust is often useful for families who want to plan how children inherit and reduce the assets that may need to pass through probate, but the right answer is personal.
What is included in the fee?
Your fee includes our planning meetings, preparation and review of your documents, signing coordination, and a meeting after signing to identify the assets and beneficiary arrangements that should be coordinated with the trust. Deed preparation and recording, if needed, are quoted separately.
How long does the process take?
Timing depends on your decisions, information, and signing schedule. If you have a deadline, tell me during the free call. A plan can often move quickly when those pieces are ready.
Can we complete everything remotely?
Planning and review meetings are held by video. Signing requirements depend on the documents and state, and I’ll coordinate the appropriate process with you.
What happens after we sign?
We meet once more to identify the assets and beneficiary arrangements that should be coordinated with the trust. Once I deliver the agreed work, the engagement ends. I may invite you to an annual check-in; if you need new legal work, we will agree to a new or expanded engagement first.
Can you help me if I do not have children?
Yes. You may still need to decide who can act for you during incapacity, who inherits, and what should happen to pets, charitable gifts, or other responsibilities.
Are deeds included?
Deed preparation and recording are not included in the published plan fee. If deed work is appropriate, I’ll explain what is needed and quote it separately before beginning.
Where is Danny licensed?
I am admitted to practice in New York, Utah, and Colorado. If I become licensed in another state, I will add it here too.
Tell me what you need the plan to do.
The introductory call is free and takes 30 minutes. You do not need an asset inventory or a list of documents. Start with your family, what prompted you to plan, and the questions already on your mind.
