Estate Planning
Do you know exactly what would happen for everyone you love and everything you own if something unexpected happened to you? We design customized plans built around revocable living trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and health care directives, so your family is protected, your wishes are clear, and your loved ones can avoid the delays, costs, and stress of probate court.
Already Have a Plan?
Estate plans don't age well on their own. Laws change, families evolve, and assets shift. If your documents were signed years ago or prepared in another state, we'll review them and tell you, in plain language, whether your plan still does what you need it to do. If your plan needs updating, we'll prepare a new plan designed around your current goals and South Carolina law. A fresh plan is clearer for your family to follow than a patchwork of amendments, and it avoids the complications that can come from modifying documents written under another state's laws.
Welcome to Chase Law Firm
Welcome! I want to congratulate you for taking the first step toward securing your legacy for everyone you love. I look forward to learning your story, hearing about what matters to you, and working with you to discover a plan that actually helps your loved ones when they need it.
My practice is devoted exclusively to estate planning. It isn't a sideline to a busy general practice. It's my entire focus, and that means you get a lawyer who knows this area deeply and stays current on it.
I understand that you are busy and you need a lawyer who makes things easy, convenient, and efficient. I am here to walk you through the process and make it as simple as possible. I look forward to serving you.

How Our Estate Planning Process Works
We do not take a “one-size-fits-all” approach with our clients. We take the time to listen and we work closely with you to design a plan that fits your personal situation and family goals. But we don’t leave it at that. For revocable living trust plans, after you sign your documents, we'll prepare the deeds for your South Carolina real estate and give you clear guidance for transferring your other assets, so your plan works the way you intend and your family can avoid the delays and expense of probate. You’ll also have a full 90 days to make changes to your planning documents at no additional charge. And we’ll be available to answer any questions you have about your plan, again, at no additional charge.

Planning Questionnaire
As soon as you schedule your Estate Planning Session, we’ll send you an Estate Planning Questionnaire.
We ask that you complete it at least three days before your Planning Session. This completely confidential online questionnaire is designed to help you focus on the important legal and financial information necessary to get your estate plan in order. It typically takes about 45 minutes, and you can save your progress and return to it as needed. If you’d prefer a different format, just let us know.
Completing this “homework” before your appointment will ensure your time with Camryn is as productive as possible and will have you feeling more organized and put together than you have felt in a long time. Maybe ever.
Attend Your Session and Consider your Plan
During the Session, Camryn will walk you through “what would happen” to all that you own and everyone you love, if anything were to happen to you now. If “what would happen” matches your goals, you can put your mind at ease. You’re all set. You will leave with the peace of mind knowing your goals are being met. There’s no need to do more planning until your family situation, financial assets, or planning goals change. If, however, there are gaps between your goals and what would actually happen, Camryn will help you identify them so you know exactly what needs to be fixed. If you want to do that planning with us, Camryn can help you design a plan on the spot. If not, at least you’ll know what the issues are and have a chance to get all of your questions answered.
What Happens Next
We are interested in forming a relationship with you and your family, for life. We are NOT in the business of merely creating documents for you to sign and sending you on your way. The only “sure” thing in life is change, which means your assets, family size, and even your goals will change in different ways throughout the course of your life. This means you must have a plan that changes with you.
The fact is, if your plan is not consistently updated over time, your family may not be taken care of in the proper manner. This is why each of our Estate Plans includes a complimentary review every three years.
