Just wanted to drop in and say hi from Frank and Katie! 👋

We’re finally emerging from the fog of early parenthood and wanted to re-introduce ourselves to the community.

If you need something built — or want to protect what you’ve already built for your family — we’ve got you covered. Frank does general contracting, and I am an estate planning attorney.

We live up in Colfax on an off-grid homestead we’ve built from the ground up. (Not pictured here—this is actually my grandfather’s homestead in the Southern Sierras. I come by my wild roots naturally 🏔️)

We both recently refreshed our websites if you’d like to learn more:

🚜 greenconstructors.org

Thanks for reading!

I have a new look for the website if you want to check it out, just in time for spring! 🌿

It's been hot, then stormy, then cold, and now beautiful again — while we all wait for the weather to make up its mind, feel free to give me a call and get started on a plan for you and your family.

If we start soon, we can get it off your to-do list before summer hits and you lose your motivation somewhere between the river and whatever (hopefully) air-conditioned haven you call home. 😄

Stella has clearly already figured out the work-life balance thing. I'm still working on it.

First call is always free. Link in bio or at www.evergreenoaklaw.com

Planning for the future.

We do it quietly, thoughtfully, and long before our kids ever realize it’s happening.

Estate planning isn’t about expecting the worst—it’s about making sure the people you love are protected, no matter what. 💛

Running a small law practice while raising kids means things aren’t always perfectly consistent—especially my social media posts. So hello again, internet!

I’m an estate planning attorney, and I help families put simple, thoughtful plans in place so there’s less stress later. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney—the basics that protect the people you love.

If getting your affairs in order after the holidays has been on your to-do list but keeps getting pushed back, you’re not alone. When you’re ready, I’m here. 💛

Happy to answer questions if you’re curious or just starting to think about it.

🍂 Fall Estate Planning Tip:

Review your beneficiary designations!

Even if you have a trust, it’s important to double-check that your retirement accounts, life insurance, and other assets are properly titled. Outdated designations can unintentionally override your plan.

A 10-minute review now can save your loved ones a lot of stress later.

Pumpkin picking: 10/10 for fall fun — but when you’re two, some of those pumpkins are toooo heavy! 🎃😄

Watching him search for “the one” made me think — finding the right plan for your family can feel the same way. There’s no one-size-fits-all, but the right fit makes all the difference. 💛

If protecting your family has been on your fall to-do list, now’s the perfect time to check it off — before the holidays sweep us all away. 🍂

Let’s find the plan that fits just right for your family. Message me or schedule a chat to get started. 💬

We built this tiny home while I was pregnant and finishing law school— with a baby soon to arrive and big dreams in the works. 🌲

Now it’s my off-grid, sustainable forest office — and I get to watch my two beautiful boys playing in the backyard of our “big house.”

Fall always reminds me to slow down and take stock of what I’m grateful for. This view — and the people who helped make it possible — are right at the top of my list. (Special thanks to my love, Frank, for building both houses and always keeping the dream alive. 💛) 🍁

What are you feeling grateful for this season?

If one of the things you’re thankful for is family, let’s make sure they’re taken care of. Schedule a chat with me to start your estate plan before the holidays get busy!

As summer comes to a close and routines shift into fall, it’s a great time to take stock of what matters most. 🍁

Estate planning is about more than documents — it’s about peace of mind and ensuring your family is cared for through every season of life. 🌿

If you’ve been meaning to get started, let’s set up a time to talk.

💰 Probate in California is expensive — and these numbers don’t even include court costs, appraisals, or the months (sometimes years) of delays.

If your estate goes through probate, California law sets the attorney and executor fees as a percentage of your total estate value — and the amounts can add up quickly.

The good news?
With a revocable living trust, you can help your family:
✅ Avoid the probate court process
✅ Save thousands in fees
✅ Receive assets faster and with far less stress

If you’ve been putting off estate planning, this is your sign to take that first step.
📬 Send me a message and let’s talk about whether a trust makes sense for your family.

My oldest baby. 🐾❤️
Before I had human kiddos, this furry child was the focus of my mom energy. Now she is my "responsible kid" and runs the property like a champ. I am so grateful for her every day.

Whether your family includes kids, pets, or both, estate planning lets you make sure they’re protected—no matter what.

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen to your pets if something happened to you, let’s talk. There are ways to include them in your plan. 🐶📜
