About John Terpin
I’m here to help your family stay out of court and avoid unnecessary conflict in the event of your death or incapacity.
I’m John Terpin, your dedicated Personal Family Lawyer®, and my goal is to ensure that your estate plan truly works when your loved ones need it most. Estate planning isn’t just about documents—it’s about making thoughtful, informed decisions that protect your family and legacy.
Together, we’ll assess your family dynamics, take a thorough inventory of your assets (often revealing more than you realize), and craft a customized plan that fits your unique needs, priorities, and budget. By planning for both life and the inevitable, you’ll gain clarity—not just about your legal and financial reality, but about your legacy and what truly matters.
This approach, which we call Life & Legacy Planning, goes beyond simply choosing between a will or a trust. It empowers you to take control of your future, safeguard your loved ones, and leave a lasting impact that aligns with your values. Most importantly, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your family won’t be left with a mess, and that they will be able to make the right decisions for you when the time comes.
As your trusted advisor, I’m here to help you make the best legal, financial, and personal decisions throughout your lifetime. And when you’re no longer here, I’ll be there for your loved ones, guiding them through one of the most challenging moments of their lives.
Let’s start planning today—because your family’s future deserves nothing less. I look forward to meeting you!
