Joanna de Vos

Founder

My path to practicing estate planning law was not a traditional one—it was inspired by personal loss and hardship. My mother lost her battle with colon cancer in 1998 while I was in law school. She had made no plans regarding her estate up until her diagnosis and was not able to seek guidance from a family trust attorney in time to protect our family with comfort and ease. My mother’s failure to plan left us in a state of emotional distress and family conflict that could have been prevented.

It was through this experience that I learned first-hand the value of having an estate plan to avoid family conflict and emotional distress. Inspired to ensure that others don’t have the same difficult process as our family had, I purposed to become an attorney who would provide my clients the guidance and support they need to create an estate plan that not only safeguards their wealth but also preserves the future of family relationships holistically.



As a holistic estate planning attorney, I recognize that your family dynamics, assets, and legacy are interwoven. They are also essential elements for creating a road map that will help your family honor your values and choices in the event of illness, incapacity, or death. I strive to educate my clients about their options to ensure that their plan meets the needs of their changing lives and leaves a legacy of love in the future for their families. I work with you, your family, and your advisors to design an integrated planning strategy that meets to ensure that your loved ones are protected, and your legacy is preserved. My clients know that they can count on caring compassionate service and won't be sent out the door with “documents."
