Supporting families who want a sense of security knowing their affairs are in order.  Being prepared for the unexpected emergencies and preserving family harmony through open communication.

No one likes talking about death and inheritances before they have to, but as I have learned from personal experience, having these conversations earlier, rather than later, will save a lot of time and money, alleviate a ton of stress and ill feelings, and ensure that the deceased’s wishes are properly and efficiently carried out.


I am not just an expert, I'm someone who knows this topic inside and out from personal experience, having spent seven years and $50,000 in lawyer fees to come to an agreement with my siblings over my parents’ estate. 


And that was with a written will! 


The grief, frustration, and stress of that experience were life-altering for me.  I am determined to help others successfully navigate the difficult tasks of estate, legacy planning, and executorship—so that families can stay together, rather than fall apart.


I am the author of the best-selling award book, Executor Help How to Settle an Estate Pick an Executor and Avoid Family Fights.  I am also the host of the Executor Help Podcast.
