Hi, I’m Morgen Bowers. I became a Personal Family Lawyer because I believe in educating and empowering my clients and community. I believe a lawyer should be more than just a document provider; my goal is to be your and your family’s life-long trusted advisor. I’ve been practicing law for over 20 years, and it has always been my priority to look at a client’s whole situation, not just a piece of it, so we can ensure the foundations are in place to support them or their family when they need it most.
Taking care of your business and your family are often intertwined. As an entrepreneur, business owner, and professional myself, I have a soft spot for helping other business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals navigate the often-confusing maze of familial, financial, and legal decisions you face when planning for the inevitable and the unexpected—whether in your business or your personal life. And getting you set up with a plan built on a strong foundation helps me help you to enhance your family’s lives today and secure their futures tomorrow. I believe in doing this by creating a plan personalized to your assets, business, family dynamics, goals, and priorities. There is no “one-size-fits-all” at Four Corners Legacy Law!
Many of our clients work with us on their business, their estate plans as their families grow, and, when the inevitable happens, we are also here for them when they need to administer a loved one’s estate. Call me nostalgic, but to me this is part of the essence of community – that we are here for your family when you can’t be. That your family knows there is someone they can turn to, someone they’ve probably even met, in times of need.

“A reliable professional. Morgen has helped me create a will, develop a partnership agreement, and miscellaneous other issues. I have found her to be consistently professional and reliable and would not hesitate to recommend her.”
— Alan
“Excellent experience. Working with Morgen on the purchase of my business was such a pleasant experience. Her knowledge, demeanor, and overall efficiency ensured my confidence and kept the process moving along very smoothly. I would highly recommend Morgen and her skilled team, and will definitely call on her for my future needs.”
— Schuyler
“I cannot thank Morgen enough for the free legal education program (estate planning) she presented at our small public library. Clearly she met a need – this was one of the best turn-outs we have ever had. Everyone was a sponge for the information she presented. It was a jam-packed 90 minute class, but there was nothing that could have been omitted. Morgen has a gift for explaining complex matters in a way that people understand. No one was bored.”
— Vicki R., Board Member Claverack Free Library
“I was referred to Morgen Bowers law firm by a client who worked with Morgen for several years. I was approached by a potential buyer of my consulting firm and I needed an attorney with experience in mergers and acquisitions. The referral came from a very reliable source.
I can’t say enough about Morgen’s knowledge, skill and advice helped me with the due diligence and final legal paperwork required in a sale of a business. I always felt Morgen had my back and she advocated strongly through negotiation of the terms of the deal. She asked important and revealing questions. She negotiated better terms for me personally.
An added bonus was Morgen’s knowledge of trademarks and branding. I have an increasing following of a professional podcast series, and it never occurred to me to carve the podcast out of the deal. Morgen assisted in getting the trademark of my podcast registered, which allowed me to protect my brand after the sale of my business
.
I highly recommend Morgen for legal assistance on any corporate or personal situation.”
— Rose M., President
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.
