Hi there. I am Brett Bussan, your Personal Family Lawyer dedicated to assisting you and helping you to take care of your family & loved ones through informed estate planning. I specialize in families with minor children, families with special needs and Medicaid Estate Planning for Seniors. I started up Ivy & Owl Law, PLLC with my cousin Natalie Bussan to provide exceptional service when serving my clients.
Before opening my firm, I spent twenty years away from the law working as a physical therapist. As a therapist, I specialized in helping patients deal with the injuries and pain that impacted their lives. Also, I worked intensively with patients that were incapacitated by stroke and neurological disease to regain their functional abilities. My hands-on therapy skills were remarkable, but I knew for truly excellent outcomes, I had to have a great relationship with my patients. That involved me truly getting to know my patients and educating them so that they were empowered to take control of their treatment and their lives.
I decided to return to practicing law because I have two adopted kids, and I knew I wanted to take as best care as possible for my kids when something does eventually happen to me. I have studied estate planning law extensively over the last couple of years, and I have learned that many families have nothing in place, or inadequate documents only in place, should they become incapacitated or die. I believe a big reason that many families do not have the planning in place that they need is because they have not had a lawyer they were able to trust to help them.
I am an attorney that can help you. My skills of compassion, and education, make me especially able to serve my clients. It is my goal to establish a great relationship with each client by learning the clients’ needs and then educating them to understand their options and empower them to make the decisions that will take care of them and their families.
At Ivy & Owl Law, I am here to help you navigate the very important task of protecting those that you love. I encourage you to reach out to me with any questions or issues that you have. I will reply to your needs promptly, and I would be happy to help you take care of your legacy and your family’s future.
We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
