Most People Don’t Plan to Fail. They Just Fail to Plan.
Estate planning isn’t for someday—it’s for right now.
And it could be the most important legal protection your family never knew they needed.
At Russo Law Offices, we’ve worked with hundreds of families who never imagined they’d need an estate plan… until life happened. A medical diagnosis. A sudden loss. A major transition. These moments don’t come with a warning, and without a plan in place, they can leave your family exposed to confusion, court delays, and unexpected costs.
So, what is estate planning really about?
It's not just for the wealthy.
It's not just about death.
It’s about making sure your wishes are clear, your assets are protected, and your loved ones are taken care of—no matter what.
A well-crafted estate plan can:
Keep your family out of probate court
Appoint guardians for your children
Ensure your healthcare and financial decisions are respected if you become incapacitated
Distribute your assets exactly how you want
Prevent conflict among family members
In short, it gives your family the clarity and support they’ll need on their hardest day.
Why people delay—and why you shouldn’t
We hear it all the time:
“I’ll get to it when I have more time.”
“I don’t have that many assets.”
“It feels overwhelming.”
We get it—life is busy, and thinking about the “what ifs” isn’t fun. But the truth is, estate planning is a proactive gift to your future self and your family. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
At Russo Law Offices, we make the process simple, personalized, and compassionate. We walk you through every step—from understanding what documents you need to making confident decisions about your legacy.
