Karnina “Nina” Deane. Everyone calls her Nina and you can too.
Nina’s passion to advocate on behalf of her clients is only surpassed by her desire to help families build a legacy to care for and guide their loved ones for generations to come. Her desire stems from her own traumatic personal experience of losing her single mother at the age of six where she was alone – unprotected and unprepared to face the world. She wants to ensure no other child is forced to endure a similar fate. At the age of six, she decided to become an attorney to help people and she did just that.
Prior to law school, Nina dedicated her educational career to studying business where she earned a bachelor’s and master’s in business administration. Following law school, she worked for one of Louisiana’s most prestigious civil litigation defense firms representing businesses and insurance companies practicing personal injury law for nearly a decade.
Drawing on her background in litigation, Nina empowers families to create secure and strategic estate plans that protect their loved ones, preserve generational wealth, and ensure their legacy is one of LOVE —- not court, confusion, and chaos.
Nina’s process involves understanding her clients’ desires and family dynamics, educating them on estate planning fundamentals and empowering them to choose the right path for them and their loved ones — at a price that works for their budget.
"Felt so 'at home' with Nina! She immediately made my husband and I comfortable with a task we had many reservations about. Both of us felt confident with our estate planning decisions we made with the guidance and knowledge from Nina. She took her time and explained every aspect we had questions on and then some. Star was also accommodating and supportive. Definitely a good decision to go with Your Legacy Building Advocate Law Group - Jax T.

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.
