Estate Planning and Probate Attorneys Serving Thornton and Northglenn

Estate planning and Probate are important areas of law that work together to ensure your hard-earned assets end up where you intend them to go. When you work with an attorney at Althaus Law you’ll have peace of mind knowing you’re prepared and your family is protected.

If you are going through probate you are likely experiencing the additional stress of legal documents and court filings. We understand that the emotional side of probate is hard enough without this, which is why we handle the legal issues so you don’t have to.

We also understand it’s hard to think about death, much less plan for it, but thoughtful planning can give you the peace of mind necessary for a deliberate and meaningful life. If you have questions regarding probate, wills, trusts or other estate planning techniques, reach out for a free consultation online or you can call our office:

Do I Need an Estate Plan?

The simple answer is that everyone can benefit from having an estate plan in Colorado. The analogy we like to use to answer this question is while many individuals don’t absolutely need a car, it makes their lives much, much easier to have one handy. The same is true for an estate plan. You may not absolutely need to have one right this instant, but it will make your future and the future of those around you better.
