How Can We Help You?

At Arch Legacy Firm, we are devoted to helping families protect their loved ones and career through a simple approach to estate and business planning. I look forward to meeting with you!

Wills & Trusts

Our goal is to help you understand the important differences between a “will” and a “trust” and about the other documents you will want to have in place to protect your family.

Planning for Parents of Minor Children

Although parents with young children often postpone Estate Planning until they have “more time” or “more money,” delaying can have disastrous consequences for your family.

Asset Protection Planning

Professionals must take steps to protect the personal assets they have earned through a lifetime of hard work. Let us help protect your hard-earned assets from divorce and creditors.

Estate Tax Protection

You work your entire life and hope to pass your assets on to your family. Estate tax is a tax paid on the net value of all your assets owned at your death. We can help you reduce – if not entirely avoid – the federal estate tax burden.

Special Needs Planning

Parents of children with special needs have additional financial, social, and medical factors to consider when Estate Planning. We can remove the fear and make it easy to understand and implement.

Lift Business Planning

Expanding or starting a medical or health & wellness practice? Let us help you establish your business on a secure LIFT (Legal, Insurance, Financial, Tax) Platform that will allow you to focus on your running a thriving business.
