Why do you need estate planning?

Don't Leave a Mess

Will or Trust or Probate? What do you really need to keep your family out of court and out of conflict when something happens to you? We'll look at your family dynamics, explain probate—the state’s plan if you fail to do your own planning. If you choose to move forward with a plan we will help you create a plan that is customized for you and within your budget to achieve your desired outcomes for yourself and the people you love.

Protect Who (and What) Matters

Don’t fail your loved ones. Even if you've created a plan already, it may not work when your family needs it. Learn what happens when clients are not well-counseled, when your assets are not owned in the right way, and plans are not updated when required to meet your goals. Your family deserves more.

Get Financial Peace of Mind

It doesn’t matter how much money you have. Estate planning is simply facing the end and attending to the inevitable, to accomplish the best possible legal and financial choices throughout life and after you pass. Our heart-centered counseling process ensures you make the right choices for yourself and the people you love.

Kid's Protection Plan

Having a will or naming godparents is not enough to keep the court system from making decisions about your children’s care in the event of your incapacity or death.

Don’t let a judge, who doesn’t know you or what matters to you, decide who raises your children or handles the money you’ll leave behind.

This resource is only one component of a comprehensive Kids Protection Plan that comes standard in all of Shipp Trusts estate planning packages.

What our clients say

Dan & Kelly S.

Working with Kim on our family trust was wonderful. She was responsive, helpful & easy to work with throughout the whole process. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to set up a trust.

Russel & Pamela S.

Kim Shipp is helping many families prepare for end of life contingency, so that families are not burdened by large taxes, delays, frozen bank accounts and unplanned distribution of assets.

She did our Family Trust for us in a complete and professional manner, while considering our wishes and informing us of possible outcomes of which we were unaware.

It’s hard enough when a loved one passes on, whether they are young or old. Even if there isn’t a lot of money involved, there are still a lot of things to decide.

Kim can help you with any questions you have by planning for your family. She is very thorough and confidential as well as easy to work with. We highly recommend her and the process.
