ESTATE PLANNING
Protecting what matters most at every stage of life.
Whether you're single, married, divorced, widowed, with or without kids, estate planning is essential.
No one expects to have their
children’s future decided by the state or their hard-earned assets lost to excessive taxes.
And yet, it happens all of the time.
Without a proper estate plan, your children and assets can be stuck in probate, incurring significant costs and causing unnecessary disputes.
At Ritter & Randolph, we help you safeguard your money and protect your family with comprehensive estate planning that honors your wishes and protects your legacy.
Estate Planning is life planning.
The team at Ritter & Randolph is available to help you put the proper documentation in place so that your assets, your children, and your legacy are preserved.

Disability and Special Needs Planning
Planning for a loved one with a disability or special needs requires careful consideration to ensure they receive the proper care and financial support throughout their lifetime. Through strategies like Supplemental Needs Trusts (SNTs), we help families preserve eligibility for government benefits while providing additional financial resources for their loved one’s care. Our goal is to create a plan that offers both security and peace of mind, protecting the future well-being of your family member with special needs.
“I'm so glad we've gotten this done.”
