My colleagues Dwazendra Smith, Karnina Deane, and I are excited to participate in a Wills Clinic for the Council on Aging today, Friday, March 28th! 🏡✍️
Estate planning is essential for all adults—not just the elderly. These clinics allow us to provide valuable services to our community, ensuring that people have legally protected plans for their futures.
While wills clinics are great for simple estate planning, more complex estate matters require a tailored approach. As a reminder, today’s clinic is for Council on Aging members only, but we’re working on making these services available to the public in June—stay tuned!
Thank you to Ms. Minette LeBouef for reaching out to me and asking that I provide these needed services to the Council on Aging. Thank you to my colleagues for agreeing to participate.  We also have three incredible interns and a volunteer to assist us.  Special thanks to them as well.Â

✨ Karnina and I go way back—shoutout to Beau Chene High School! 🎓 I’ve had the privilege of watching her career take off, and she’s an absolute force in estate planning, successions, business formation, and general counsel.Â
I once referred a client to her, and she had their legal issue resolved in just two weeks! Seeing her quickly and passionately advocate for a trusted friend was inspiring.
If you need comprehensive estate planning, successions assistance, or want to get your affairs in order TODAY, my colleague Karnina Dargin Deane of Your Legacy Building Advocate is the go-to resource!
