• Wills

• Testamentary trusts (guardianship)

• Health care directives (living wills)

• Powers of attorney

Whether you're a new family and worried about who will take care of your children, or you had a will drafted 20 years ago and need to get it updated, Julie can help you make the right decisions for your family, navigate the process with you, and make everything legal.

Julie is often asked how she decided to become an estate planning lawyer. It’s people—Gardy Ray and Diane Wilcox.

Just weeks after her law school graduation, Julie's stepdad died unexpectedly. He had a will, so probate was simple, and the family was able to just grieve. Julie's mom, already stricken with a terminal cancer diagnosis, wanted to talk about health care decisions and end-of-life care. Julie guided her through those conversations and served as her health care agent. After her mom died, too, Julie followed her mom's funeral wishes and helped her brother through probate. 

Estate planning isn't just about wills or money or obligations to Julie; it's about having important conversations with the most important people in your life.
