Undecided?
That is totally fine. It is normal to feel a little uneasy about estate planning.
Many of our happiest clients started just where you are right now. But when they read the best selling book on estate planning for families, Wear Clean Underwear (I know, it's a funny name, right?), they felt more at ease, educated and informed about this important planning than they ever had before. And they love the peace of mind that comes with knowing everything is set up the right way for themselves, their future, and their loved ones.

I would love to send you a copy of Wear Clean Underwear: A Fast, Fun, Friendly – and Essential – Guide to Legal Planning for Busy Families for FREE as my gift to you for considering working with me.
Simply click here to request your free copy and it will immediately arrive in your inbox.
It's called "Wear Clean Underwear" because your mom always told you to wear clean underwear in case you were in an accident. But once you are a parent, there are important legal planning steps you need to take as well. By the way, the book gets 4.4 stars on Amazon.

I've worked with four estate lawyers (for myself and my parents) in the last eight years, and Kelly Balamuth is the best by FAR. She was thorough, patient, diligent, and caring. She asked detailed questions about our personal situation and adapted our estate plan specifically for our needs. But what impressed me most about her was her original thinking. The estate plan she created for my wife and I had several very unique, thoughtful, and personal touches--elements which we believe will help our heirs have a better understanding of the life we lead and our love for each other and the people we care about. What Kelly helped us create was not just a will or trust, but a legacy. None of the other attorneys I worked with came close. I would recommend Kelly with no reservations whatsoever.

My husband and I are happy we found Kelly to update our estate plan. We…were glad to find someone in Lamorinda with Kelly's experience. From our first meeting Kelly was clear about the process, costs and timing. We appreciated the complete review she walked us through, and let us know what the options were. Kelly made herself available whenever we had questions. Thanks Kelly for the great experience and complete work!

From day I met Kelly at a free workshop, she made me feel seen, heard and confirmed. Once I had my one on one with her I felt extremely comfortable. To tell you the truth, I was looking for a Black owned law firm, but after meeting with Kelly and feeling her warmth, care and even concern for my as a single mom who has raised her daughters and working with me. I couldn't help but say, YES. … I won't give you too many spoilers, but this lady is awesome and she has some wonderful chickens that lay pretty darn good eggs. Her team is wonderful and extremely helpful and I felt confident throughout my entire process of getting things done and marked off the checklist and now I feel so confident in knowing my business is in order and that I forever have an estate attorney and friend in Kelly.
