Traveling Will Services For Northshore Residents

Look: we know talking about wills and estate planning isn't fun. Unless you're Death from Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (shout out William Sadler), talking about death will not be in the top 8 million things you want to talk about at your next crawfish boil. Heck, you'll probably want to talk about taxes before talking about what will happen when you pass away or become unable to care for yourself.

Unfortunately, you do have to talk about what happens when you pass away or if you become incapacitated. We have been practicing long enough to see the good, the bad, and the ugly in Covington estate planning cases. Without a will, sometimes even the tightest of families start to fight when their human passes away. Having a will can help keep family animosity to a minimum; or if you know your family members will "pop off", you can include a special clause about what happens if they do.

We know it's overwhelming to think about or even consider. We wanted to make it easier on folx so that's why we put together an easy-to-digest estate planning packet and now offer to come to your home, your business, hospital, or assisted living home to execute the documents.

How Does The Process Work?

  1. You reach out to us for your estate planning packet. You can call us or text us at 985-265-7196, shoot us an email at amber@ambersheppardlaw.com, or fill out a form for us to contact you here. We will get some information from you to make sure there are no conflicts of interest on our end. If there isn't, then we send your estate planning packet to fill out.
  2. You fill out the estate planning packet & send it back to us. You will look through it to see what best suits your needs. The forms explain what each item is in detail. The forms can be scary or overwhelming at first. We try to make them as easy to digest as possible. It’s just meant to get you to start thinking and having discussions with yourself or your family/partner if that’s a consideration. Before we schedule a time for us to go over your questions, it benefits everyone involved if you have those hard discussions with each other before we meet to execute the documents.
  3. We invoice you for your package & we receive payment.
  4. We talk on the phone for up to 20 minutes virtually. If you have questions about what certain things mean then we will talk virtually via phone or Zoom at a scheduled time for up to 20 minutes. If it’s straight forward to you then you can just send it back filled out and let us know what you’d like. I’m a one-woman shop so I will need to schedule a time with you in advance. Anything longer than 20 minutes requires a paid consultation.
  5. We schedule a date and time to execute your documents. For our documents you will need to coordinate with two uninterested witnesses to be on site for the day that we schedule. This means that witness is over 18 and is not a person in that document. For example, if your daughter is going to be your agent, then she cannot witness your Power of Attorney. If your spouse is in your will, then your spouse cannot be a witness for the will. Those people can be witnesses for other documents, but not that particular document. We can bring two witnesses with us for an additional fee.
  6. We draft your documents for your review. We will send your draft for review via email or in the mail depending on your preference. You will review it for any edits or changes and let us know those changes.
  7. We make any changes. We value your time and want to make sure before we visit you to execute the documents, everything is to your liking. If we need to talk on the phone or schedule a Zoom call with you to go over the documents, we will do that ahead of time.
  8. We meet to execute your documents. We will meet you in the comfort of your home, business, hospital, or assisted living home to execute your documents. You keep the original documents.
  9. You have peace of mind.

No one wants to sit in an office to execute will documents or talk about them. That's why we can travel to you.

How Much Does It Cost?

Pricing varies dependent on the package you need and your distance from our office in Slidell (zip code 70458).

Where Do You Travel?

We travel anywhere in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana so long as your home, your business, hospital, or assisted living home will allow us to enter. We can travel outside the Parish but our travel fee will be increased in accordance with the additional distance incurred.
