Estate Planning Law Office Serving Clients in Boulder and Denver Colorado Area
Estate planning is not a concern only for the super-wealthy. Basically, everyone across Colorado has an estate. If you have assets you want to protect and leave to intended family members, or you want to try to provide for your loved ones even after you are gone, then you need to put those wishes into writing.
We may hope that we have many years left to figure out these matters. Or we may hope that, if we were to pass away, our families would figure things out without much challenge or conflict. We may even hope that we’ve all of our financial affairs in order so that no outstanding debts are waiting for those we leave behind.
But hope is not a plan.
At Rocky Mountain Wills & Trusts, our attorneys have extensive experience providing clients with legal options beneficial to their unique estate planning needs. If you want to look out for your own and your family’s future, please contact us.

We used Rocky Mountain Wills and Trust for the preparation of our will and associated powers of attorney. We found Philip Bluestein to be very knowledgeable and he showed great compassion towards our personal family dynamics. We would highly recommend Rocky Mountain Wills and Trust to anyone considering a will or trust. Ed & Kathy Boyle
Thanks so much for the opportunity to participate as a guest on your terrific series "Business Insights Anyone Can Use." I was delighted to share some strategies business owners need to apply when they are starting to use social media for their businesses. Philip did a superb job with conducting his interview of me, and I was very impressed with the specific tips he provided on this topic.
Excellent Attorneys and staff to help out with setting up a will and trust for my family. Made it very easy. Highly recommend.
Do You Really Need an Estate Plan?
There is a tendency to want to put off difficult subjects like estate planning until tomorrow or the next day. It’s understandable, as this can be an emotional subject. But none of us knows how long we have left. An unsigned, unfinished will is just about as good as a will draft that was never started in the first place.
If you do not have a your own legally valid estate plan in place, difficult decisions like end-of-life care will need to be made in highly stressful situations, sometimes with little to no concern about what your wishes might’ve been. Without a will, your assets will likely go through probate, where they will be divided up or potentially fought over by surviving family members. If you don’t have an estate plan, things will be harder on your family as they struggle to figure out what your wishes were and scramble to settle your debts without losing important assets to creditors.
A properly prepared estate plan can provide you and your family with some peace of mind. It’s not easy to imagine a world after us. But it can be comforting to know that our loved ones will be taken care of.

There is a tendency to put off estate planning until the last moment. It’s understandable, after all, as the topic asks us to consider death and a time when our loved ones are vulnerable. More than that, though, we tend to believe that we have plenty of time to figure out our estate plan. But death comes for all at most unexpected times. And though we may wish to believe that we have all the time in the world, our families deserve better, more competent preparation.
Everyone across Boulder County has an estate, but far fewer among us have taken the proper steps to create a valid estate plan. Simply hoping that our family members and loved ones will get along and agree that certain assets go to certain people is not enough. Your estate will go through the probate process, and unless proper wills were kept establishing your wishes, there could be no guarantee that your beneficiaries will inherit what you intend for them.
