At Happy Life Legal, we care about continuity.
Most law firms usually do not prioritize this. But we do.
We are a law firm that builds bridges between generations, so your children can call us. We don't want to prepare your estate plan and disappear forever—we want to stay relevant to your family.
To help your Successor Trustee navigate the transition after you’re gone, we will include a Legacy Trustee Guidance Package.
*This is not legal advice itself; it’s a practical "manual" with many valuable resources, including:
+ What to Do the First 48 Hours After Death
+Communication Forms
+Simplified Hawaii Statutory Roadmap
more
This package is for helpful informational purposes only and is not itself legal advice. The use of these materials does not create an attorney-client relationship or privilege between the Successor Trustee and/or children with the firm.
-
Life changes, and your estate plan can too.
Unlike traditional firms that charge $500-$1500 per amendment, we give two (2) free amendment sessions over the lifetime of your Trust.
The 'Legacy Update Window' is every November. During this month, you can reach out to update your Trust with Amendments at no additional cost.
Some examples of Amendments:
+Trustee Swaps: Update your Successor Trustees.
+Beneficiary Name Changes: Update legal names due to marriage, divorce, or legal changes.
+Information Refresh: Update addresses and contact information for your heirs and executors.
+The "Keepsake" Update: Add or change a specific gift, like a family heirloom or a specific piece of sports memorabilia.
