The Meridian Law Group focuses exclusively on estate planning — in depth, not in passing. From a first will to complex multi-generational trusts, here is everything covered under one roof.
The foundation of every estate plan. A properly drafted will and trust make sure your assets go exactly where you intend — not where the state decides.
Whether you're building your first plan or updating one after a major life change — marriage, a new child, a move, a new asset — this is where every client starts. We build wills and revocable living trusts that are clear, current, and built around your actual family.
Precision for estates with real complexity — multiple properties, business interests, blended families, or wealth meant to last for generations.
Middle-class families deserve the same precision the ultra-wealthy get. When an estate involves layered assets, multiple beneficiaries with different needs, or a desire to protect wealth across generations, the plan has to be built with more sophistication — without unnecessary cost or complexity.
Naming who can act on your behalf — financially and legally — the moment you're unable to.
Without a valid power of attorney, your family may need a court's permission just to pay your bills or manage your accounts if you become incapacitated. This document names someone you trust to step in immediately, without a judge's involvement.
Making sure your medical wishes are followed, and sparing your family from having to guess.
An advance directive names a healthcare agent and documents your wishes for treatment, life support, and end-of-life care — one of the kindest things you can leave your family, because it removes the burden of guessing what you would have wanted.
Naming who raises your children, and who manages what they inherit, if you're not there to do it yourself.
This is personal to us. Naming a guardian is one of the most important decisions a parent can make — and one of the most commonly skipped. We make sure this is addressed clearly, including who manages assets left to minor children separately from who raises them.
For business owners: making sure your business survives you, transfers cleanly, and doesn't become a family dispute.
If you own a business, it's likely one of your largest assets — and one of the most commonly overlooked in estate planning. We help owners integrate the business into the overall estate plan: who inherits it, who runs it, and how it's valued and transferred.
Legally transferring firearms — including NFA-regulated items — without putting your family at legal risk.
Firearms, especially those regulated under the National Firearms Act, require careful legal structuring to transfer legally. A properly drafted firearms trust lets you name multiple trustees, avoid probate complications, and ensure your firearms pass to the right people without exposing them to criminal liability.
Protecting older adults and their families through the legal issues that come with aging.
Aging brings a distinct set of legal needs — long-term care planning, protecting assets from care costs, and making sure the right people have authority when it's needed most. We help older adults and their adult children navigate these decisions with dignity and clarity.
Structuring your estate to minimize what's lost to taxes — so more stays with the people you intend.
Estate, gift, and inheritance tax rules can meaningfully reduce what your beneficiaries actually receive if a plan isn't structured with taxes in mind. We incorporate tax-efficient strategies into your plan from the start, tailored to the size and shape of your estate.
Most estates touch more than one of these areas. Tell us what's going on, and we'll tell you exactly what your plan needs — in a free, no-obligation call.
