Estate planning is one of the most critical legal decisions you can make to protect your family, your assets, and your wishes. Yet, many people delay the process, assume a simple will is enough, or make decisions about estate planning based on price alone.

The truth is, not all estate plans are created equal. A DIY online template, a generic will from an employer’s legal plan, or a general practice attorney who dabbles in estate planning may check the box—but will that plan actually work when your family needs it most? Oftentimes, the answer is “no.”

At Ohio Heritage Law LLC, estate planning is our specialty. I’ve built my practice on providing comprehensive, customized estate planning solutions that go beyond just drafting documents. My firm ensures that your estate plan is legally sound, strategically designed, and fully personalized to protect you and your loved ones from costly legal pitfalls, unnecessary probate expenses, and unintended consequences.

Why “Bargain” Estate Plans Can Cost More in the Long Run

I love a bargain as much as anyone. It’s tempting to save money by using an online will service, a discount legal plan through work, or a low-cost generalist attorney who offers wills on the side. However, cutting corners in estate planning can lead to:

• Ambiguous or incomplete documents – Without proper customization, a vague or improperly executed estate plan can lead to legal disputes, probate delays, and unintended distributions.
• Failure to protect assets – A basic will doesn’t account for trust planning, tax strategies, or asset protection against creditors, lawsuits, or long-term care costs.
• Higher costs for your heirs – What you save upfront could end up costing your family thousands in legal fees, court costs, and probate expenses when trying to fix mistakes.
• Outdated or non-compliant documents – Estate laws change over time, and a static or generic document may fail to meet current legal requirements, making it ineffective when it matters most.

At my firm, I take a strategic approach to estate planning, ensuring every detail is carefully considered to avoid these risks.

What Sets Ohio Heritage Law LLC Apart?

At Ohio Heritage Law LLC, estate planning is not just one of many services—it’s our primary focus and true area of expertise. This dedication allows me to stay at the forefront of estate planning strategies, tax law changes, and best practices. Here’s what makes my firm different:

1. Focused Expertise in Estate Planning

Many attorneys draft wills—but not all attorneys understand estate planning at the level required to truly protect your family. I focus exclusively on estate planning, which means I deeply understand the laws, strategies, and potential pitfalls that a generalist attorney or DIY service might miss.

2. Advanced Drafting Software & Customization

Some firms offer a two-page will or an eight-page trust that barely scratches the surface.

At Ohio Heritage Law, you receive a fully developed estate plan, often 75+ pages, with a level of detail that ensures clarity, prevents disputes, and provides complete protection. I use top-tier estate planning software from WealthCounsel, the same professional tools trusted by leading estate planning attorneys nationwide.

3. A Network of Trusted Professionals

Estate planning doesn’t happen in a vacuum. I work closely with CPAs, financial planners, other attorneys, and tax professionals to create truly comprehensive plans. Whether it’s minimizing estate taxes, protecting assets, or planning for long-term care, I ensure that every angle is covered.

4. Long-Term Relationship & Ongoing Support

Estate planning isn’t a one-time event—it’s an ongoing process. As your life changes, so should your estate plan. I encourage periodic reviews and updates to ensure your plan remains current, compliant, and aligned with your goals.

Estate Planning Should Be an Investment—Not a Quick Fix

Estate planning is one of the most important investments you can make in your family’s future. While it may be tempting to choose the cheapest option, the reality is that a well-crafted estate plan pays for itself many times over by avoiding probate delays, legal disputes, excessive taxes, and unintended consequences.

A thoughtfully designed estate plan does more than just direct who gets what—it:
✔ Ensures your assets are properly protected from creditors, lawsuits, and nursing home costs
✔ Prevents unnecessary probate expenses and legal complications for your heirs
✔ Provides clear instructions for your family in times of uncertainty
✔ Minimizes estate taxes and maximizes asset preservation

At Ohio Heritage Law LLC, I help individuals and families build estate plans that work—ensuring their wishes are carried out without confusion, legal hurdles, or financial strain on loved ones.
