Estate Planning

Estate planning isn’t just about protecting your assets. It’s about protecting you while you’re alive and need help, it’s about protecting your family, it’s about avoiding unnecessary estate taxes, and it’s about ensuring your legacy lives on long after you are gone. Click here to learn more.

Probate

Losing a loved one is tough as it is, but having to navigate the court system makes it even tougher. Washington State probate is relatively easy to navigate, if you know what you are doing. The first step is finding out if you even need probate. Click here to learn more.

Trust Administration

The duties of a trustee are often more onerous and time consuming than a family member wants to handle (or there are no family members qualified for the job). Our trustee services exist to ensure trust beneficiaries are protected and the trust does what it is supposed to do.

Testimonials

  • CMS helped my husband and I with our will and power of attorney. Chris and his staff are super personable and easy to work with. Chris is not your stereotypical attorney. He is not intimidating in any way. All of our questions or concerns were addressed in a way that we could understand and relate. I would recommend any of my family or friends to CMS!

    Nichole Thomas, Client
  • Great team! Quick to follow up on questions with answers I could actually understand. The whole process of creating a will can be overwhelming but Chris and his team made me feel comfortable and confident that I was in good hands.

    Alec Klasna, Client
  • Working with Chris is great! Thank you for handling everything in a very prompt and professional manner. I will absolutely recommend family and friends.
