Online wills may look simple, but Estate Planning is about more than just signing documents.

Many DIY plans miss important details like:
✔ Avoiding probate
✔ Updating beneficiary designations
✔ Properly funding a trust
✔ Planning for digital assets and online accounts

One small mistake can create major stress for your loved ones later.

Estate planning should give your family peace of mind not confusion during a difficult time.

📩 We also review existing estate plans and trusts to make sure everything is set up correctly.

After 25 years, you are now ready to retire. You built a thriving company, but had no plan for what came next.

Who would take over? Would the business survive the transition? What would happen to his employees?

Without a succession plan, even the most successful businesses can fall apart when the founder steps away.

At Kitzes Law, we've helped many business owners map out their exit, whether that's passing the torch to a family member, a key employee, or a buyer.

Your life's work is too important to leave to chance.

Let's talk about your exit strategy.

Let’s talk about the parts of Trust Administration nobody warns you about.

Many people think the hard work ends once a Trust is created, but administration often brings unexpected challenges.

Here are a few that catch families off guard:

🔸 Trustees can be personally liable for mistakes
🔸 Beneficiary disputes can arise, even with a clear Trust
🔸 Asset valuation timing can change what beneficiaries receive
🔸 Tax elections can cost thousands if deadlines are missed
🔸 Trust-owned businesses add major responsibility and complexity

At Kitzes Law, we guide trustees and families every step of the way.

Your firm deserves a lawyer on speed dial.

Engineers and architects handle complex projects, contracts, and high-value clients daily. One small legal oversight can turn into a major financial risk.

That’s why we created our Monthly General Counsel Service, ongoing legal support designed specifically for engineering and architectural firms.

Each month, we help you:
✔️ Review and draft contracts
✔️ Stay compliant and protected
✔️ Prevent legal risks before they arise
✔️ Get answers fast when legal questions pop up

Think of us as your outsourced in-house legal team, without the full-time cost.

The biggest contract mistake? Signing without reading.

It happens more than you think.
Many people lose important rights simply because they skim, assume, or trust a template.

A contract can quietly include:
⚠️ Hidden fees
⚠️ Unfair termination clauses
⚠️ Personal liability risks
⚠️ Ownership of your work
⚠️ One-sided obligations

By the time a problem appears, it’s often too late.

At Kitzes Law, we help business owners and entrepreneurs review, draft, and negotiate contracts so you fully understand what you’re agreeing to before you sign.

Protect your business before the signature, not after the dispute.

Many people form an LLC to protect their personal assets, but here’s what most don’t realize: that protection isn’t automatic.

If your business isn’t properly set up and maintained, your liability shield can be weakened. Mixing personal and business finances, unclear ownership, or missing legal documents can put your personal assets at risk.

And what about the future of your business?
• What if a partner wants to leave?
• What if you want to bring in investors?
• What happens if something happens to the owner?

Planning for these scenarios early can prevent expensive legal issues later.

At Kitzes Law, we help business owners set up their LLCs the right way, giving them the protection and legal foundation their business needs to grow.
