Estate Planning
“You can’t plan for your death after you die”
Every day 10,000 baby boomers will reach the age of 65. Having worked hard their whole life, these Americans have accumulated quite a “nest egg” for their retirement. But what happens afterwards? Leighton is a Chandler estate planning attorney with years of experience who knows that no two estates are identical. He’ll provide you with solutions that work the way you want, preparing for any situation that may arise and helping you avoid unintended consequences.
Prenup And Post Nuptial Agreements
A postnuptial agreement is a legally binding agreement between spouses entered into after marriage. It differs from a premarital agreement in that the agreement is made after marriage. And unlike a premarital agreement, a postnuptial agreement can bind the spouses regarding other issues that a prenuptial agreement cannot.

Learn More About Wealth Preservation
Business & Succession Planning
Much like wealth preservation and estate planning, business succession planning is the legal process of deciding who takes over your
possessions — and in this case business(es) — when you retire or when something unexpected happens.
This is an especially relevant process for SMBs or family business owners that want to ensure their businesses will continue to run smoothly.
Our business succession planning lawyers can help.
Tax Planning
Death and taxes are the only sure things in life. While tax planning is not beneficial to the vast majority of Americans, if you are a business owner, high earner, or super saver tax planning may save you thousands or even millions of dollars. The tax code is incredibly complex; including all the regulations, statutes, and case law the code runs over 70,000 pages. It’s so complex that no one person truly understands it all.
