Estate Planning

Your life, values, relationships, and assets deserve thoughtful protection. Work with an experienced estate planning attorney in Denver who provides clear guidance, personalized planning, and long-term peace of mind.

Plan With Purpose, Protect With Confidence

Estate Planning is the process of organizing your affairs so it’s always clear who controls your assets, who benefits from them, and when those benefits are received.

When you’re healthy, planning feels simple — you make decisions, manage finances, and care for loved ones. But without a plan in place, disability, incapacity, or death can create emotional and financial stress for the people you care about most.

At Front Range Estate Planning, we help Colorado families create legally sound, meaningful plans that honor their wishes, reduce uncertainty, and prevent the state from making decisions on their behalf.

Our Estate Planning Services

Every family’s story, values, and goals are different — and your plan should reflect that. We provide comprehensive, attorney-led solutions tailored to your life.

Wills

A Will lets you name beneficiaries, appoint guardians for children, select decision-makers, and clearly express final wishes. Without one, Colorado law makes these decisions for you.

Living Trusts

A Living Trust can help you avoid probate, maintain privacy, and provide seamless asset management during incapacity or after death.

Special Needs Trusts

A Special Needs Trust protects a loved one with disabilities without jeopardizing eligibility for essential benefits or long-term care support.

Why Estate Planning Matters

Working with a trusted estate planning attorney in Denver helps you future-proof your wishes and protect the people you love. A well-designed estate plan can:

Protect Your Loved Ones

Ensure your spouse, children, and chosen beneficiaries are supported emotionally, legally, and financially.

Prevent Court Delays & Disputes

Avoid probate, confusion, and conflict through clear instructions and structured planning.

Maintain Control of Your Legacy

Decide who inherits, when they inherit, and how assets are managed.

Prepare for the Unexpected

Empower trusted individuals to make medical and financial decisions if you cannot.

Common Estate Planning Mistakes to Avoid

Even with good intentions, small missteps can lead to major financial, legal, or family complications. Working with an experienced estate planning attorney in Denver can help you avoid costly errors, such as:

  • Signing a will or trust without proper legal execution.
  • Relying on generic online forms.
  • Choosing an attorney who doesn’t focus on estate planning.
  • Using beneficiary designations without understanding the impact.
  • Attempting to avoid probate informally.
  • Gifting assets outright to minors or disabled individuals.
A well-designed estate plan should protect you, not create new problems. When guided correctly, estate planning prevents confusion, conflict, and unintended consequences.

Kurt helped me and my wife with our estate planning. He helped educate us on the whole process, and took the careful time to answer all of our questions. It was important for us to work with someone who was knowledgeable and would get things done right, and Kurt definitely met all of these expectations. His rates are very competitive too – so would highly recommend Front Range!

Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Planning

What does an estate planning attorney do?

We create legally enforceable documents to ensure your wishes are carried out and your assets are protected.

Do I need an estate plan if I’m young or don’t own much?

Yes. Estate planning protects loved ones, medical decisions, and financial control, regardless of income or asset size.

What happens if I don’t have an estate plan?

The state decides who controls your assets, who inherits, and when — which may not reflect your wishes.

How much does estate planning cost?

Pricing depends on complexity, but we offer transparent, flat-fee options and a no-charge initial consultation.

Is estate planning the same as asset protection?

No, but they complement each other. Estate planning addresses future asset distribution, while asset protection shields assets during your lifetime.
