The Unprepared Farewell: How One Loss Changed Everything
Founder and Managing Attorney Stephanie Graham’s journey into estate planning began not in a courtroom, but around a family table left emptier after loss. After her grandmother—the matriarch of the family—passed away, the fallout from unresolved issues changed everything. It even ended beloved traditions like Thanksgiving.
Stephanie turned that pain into purpose, launching her own practice to help families avoid similar heartache. With experience as a prosecutor and a background in business, she brings a sharp legal mind and a compassionate heart to every estate planning conversation.

What is estate planning and why do I need it?
Estate planning is the strategic arrangement of assets, finances, and personal wishes to ensure a smooth distribution in case of disability or death. It involves creating legal documents like wills and trusts, enabling you to specify how your assets will be distributed.
This protective framework safeguards your family’s financial well-being, minimizes disputes, and provides an opportunity for you to appoint guardians for minor children. A well-crafted plan avoids probate delays, expedites asset distribution, and includes provisions for potential incapacitation. It offers peace of mind, ensuring your affairs are in order and your loved ones are cared for.
In essence, estate planning is a proactive and thoughtful approach to managing your legacy, protecting your loved ones, and preserving your values.
What types of legal documents are involved in estate planning?
In estate planning, several crucial legal documents play a pivotal role in safeguarding your assets and ensuring your wishes are carried out. A Last Will and Testament outlines how you want your assets distributed upon your passing, appoints guardians for minor children, and names an executor to manage the estate.
Trusts provide additional flexibility, privacy, and control over asset distribution. Powers of Attorney grant authority to someone you trust to make financial or medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. Healthcare Directives specify your medical preferences. Together, these documents form a comprehensive estate plan tailored to your unique circumstances and desires.
Can you guide me through the probate process and its potential challenges?
Certainly! The probate process involves validating and executing a deceased person’s will, settling debts, and distributing assets. Challenges may include delays, family disputes, and court fees. At Graham Estate Planning, we guide you through this process, offering expertise in probate litigation to navigate challenges effectively.
Is Estate Planning a one-time deal?
Estate planning is not a one-time deal; rather, it’s an ongoing process that should be revisited periodically to ensure it aligns with your evolving life circumstances and financial situation. Life changes, such as marriage, the birth of children, or acquiring new assets, can impact the effectiveness of your existing plan. Regular reviews and updates with your estate planning attorney, like Graham Estate Planning, are essential to reflect your current wishes and maintain the security of your family’s future.
