where the process sounds complicated and confusing, but you don’t ask questions because you want to do the right thing for your family by having the estate planning documents prepared. So you’ll sign, take the binder of docs home, stick it on a shelf, and hope to never think about it again.
As time goes by, you realize you need more help … you can’t quite remember what your lawyer said about moving your bank accounts into your trust, or your kids get older and your guardianship choices become outdated, or you sell your house/buy a new one and forget to put the title in the name of the trust … but you don’t get in touch with your lawyer because you want to avoid getting a bill in the mail two weeks later each time you call. So nothing changes.
It’s not until you become incapacitated or die and your family finds the binder you stuck up on a shelf several years before and never looked at again, that they’ll realize your plan is so outdated that it has nothing to do with your life, your assets, and the law - resulting in your family having to go through probate for the assets that never made it into the trust.
The truth is, the estate planning industry was not designed to serve growing families who experience lots of change on their way to success. It was designed for 80 and 90-year olds preparing for death. While that is important, this model doesn’t serve the vast majority of people who still need
We understand you are BUSY, you are growing, you are planning for a life of prosperity.
My guess? In this season, you value ease, convenience and efficiency. You’re raising children, and caring for elderly parents, while also working hard to build your own nest egg for a lifetime of support. You want to know you’ve made the best decisions for your family and that your plan will work when your loved ones need it most.
You want to make sure your minor children would be raised by the people you choose, and never by anyone you wouldn’t want, and that your teens and adult children are properly prepared to care for you and what you leave behind.
and handled everything so that you aren’t leaving behind a mess when something happens.
We’ve developed unique systems to give you access to a Personal Family Lawyer® (the kind that used to only be available to the super-wealthy) so you can have the guidance you need to build and maintain a life of prosperity and wealth. And, to keep your family out of court and out of conflict, which is the greatest risk to the people you love and all you've created, even if you’ve already worked with a traditional lawyer or created documents online.
"I was referred over to Kendra for my family estate planning via a good attorney friend of mine and I must say I was extremely impressed with her knowledge and expertise. She was professional and very friendly. She was very easy to talk to and helped me every step of the way. I am happy I was referred to her."
Hi there! I’m Kendra, a lawyer, and a mother, on a mission to empower families to take charge of their legal life planning.
My goal is to be your trusted advisor who helps you make the very best personal, financial, and legal decisions for your family throughout your lifetime. I want to help you not just now, but also when you can’t be there, so that I can help guide your loved ones through a difficult process.
I am a wife, and proud mom (and bonus mom) who loves football and sunshine. On the weekends you can find us playing outside and gathering with family. Prosecco and pizza are my love languages.
I know what it’s like to be a busy parent. I know what it’s like to worry. I know what it’s like to lose a family member. And as a former personal injury attorney, I know first-hand the challenges families can face when planning is not completed or done improperly.
As a mother, I share the desire to provide safety, financial stability, and lasting security for your children. That is why I formed Strong Law - specifically to focus on the needs of young families and professionals. Working together, we will create an essential estate plan that protects your children, safeguards your wealth, and sets the groundwork for your legacy. As a life and legacy firm, I will empower you to look beyond the financial and legal decisions, and ensure that your legacy, values, and hopes are passed down to those you love.
I look forward to becoming your Personal Family Lawyer for life and protecting the people you love and everything else you care about today. I look forward to meeting you!
We don’t just stand out with how much we care about you and your family…
At our initial meeting you will choose the level of planning and fee that works best for your family, so there will never be any surprises.
We do not just prepare a set of legal documents for you and send you on your way. We make sure your assets are owned in the right way, we make sure your children’s well-being is properly planned for, and we ensure everyone you have named in your plan knows what to do if anything happens to you.
And annually for those in our Family Wealth VIP Membership Program. We foster a lifetime, ongoing relationship with our clients. Throughout your life, things change: you change, your assets change, your family changes, and the law will definitely change. When planning with us, your plan will keep up with those changes.
Both now and over your lifetime, to make the planning process incredibly easy and painless for you and your family.
By helping you make smart choices about things like buying insurance, saving for college, and planning for retirement so you never spend more than you have to or get taken advantage of by unscrupulous sales people.
And to ensure that if you have minor children, they are never raised by anyone you wouldn't want or taken into the care of strangers. And if your children are adults, we help you weave them into your estate plan with care and forethought that most other lawyers simply do not have the training or inclination to do.
We believe that planning is about much more than just the transfer of your financial wealth. For each client, we walk you through a process to help you transfer your most important personal wealth to your loved ones: your intellectual, spiritual and human assets - who you are and what’s important to you. A survey of inheritors has revealed that they care about this aspect even more than inheriting your money.
Most estate plans only focus on the transfer of your financial wealth to the next generation. Most people have such great intentions of passing on the intangible, but very few ever get around to doing it. It’s just not a priority, until it’s too late. That’s why we’ve built this into our estate plans… Not only will we help you pass on your money, but also your values, your insights, your stories and your experiences – the truly valuable assets your loved one’s care about the most.
