Meet Brent

You deserve clear answers about what should happen next.

When you’re making a plan, it helps to work with someone who has seen these choices at every level. Brent has advised families with estates exceeding $1 billion and guided many others through complex, deeply personal planning decisions. That experience helps him give you clear, practical guidance.

Brent’s experience includes:

  • What this means for you

    He has seen how real disputes, wills, and guardianships play out in court, so he can help you avoid the problems that derail families.

  • What this means for you

    He has managed money and property for vulnerable people, so he knows how to build plans that protect you and the people who depend on you.

  • What this means for you

    He has handled estates for people who died without a plan, so he knows exactly what to prevent — and how to keep your family out of that situation.

  • What this means for you

    He understands how assets grow, move, and need to be protected.

  • What this means for you

    He helped criminalize elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation, giving him insight into the risks families face and how to guard against them.

  • What this means for you

    He understands how real families make decisions, so he can help you create a plan that fits your life.

Brent would love to put this experience to work for you — to build the plan that fits your life, your family, and what matters most to you.

Workshops

Before you hire an estate planning attorney, come meet one.

You will leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more confident about what happens next.

What happens if you do nothing?

Without a plan in place, simple moments can become complicated ones.

Frozen Accounts

Without clear authority in place, the people who would normally help may be locked out of the accounts that matter.

Court Involvement

When there are no clear instructions, a court often has to step in to decide who is in charge — and when.

Family Conflict

Unanswered questions tend to become disagreements. Clear planning can reduce confusion before it begins.

One conversation can replace uncertainty with direction.
