Areas of Focus: Life and Legacy Planning
Licensed States: Washington
Hi, I’m Michelle, Personal Family Lawyer and the Founder of Wellspring Legal. I started this firm with the intention to empower people to create a meaningful, intentional, and authentic legacy for their loved ones. I care deeply about this work, and am passionate about helping my clients understand their options so they can make the best decisions for them. I’ve found that a lot of estate planning services are either geared toward the super wealthy or are cheap DIY documents that don’t actually work when they are needed. As a small business owner, I wanted to serve people like me - regular people who want to build something they're proud of and leave something meaningful for those they care about most. My goal is to be a resource for you through all seasons of life, make sure your outcomes fit your vision, and equip you with education and peace of mind. Outside of running my practice, you’ll often find me in a barre or Pilates class.
I’m a foodie, and an avid audiobook and podcast listener. I live with my rescue kitty Luna outside of Seattle, where I love to spend as much time as I can outside in nature and hanging out with my partner and our friends and family. I’m looking forward to meeting you and helping you protect what matters most!
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.
