I’m Vince Prior, an estate-planning attorney based in Waynesboro. Your first conversation can begin with one concern, even if the paperwork is still scattered.
Perhaps one family member knows where the will is, another handles the bills, and the person you would ask for help lives elsewhere. Start by telling us how things work today and what you want to be clearer.
We can discuss a first plan or review an existing one. Our estate-planning services include wills, trusts, financial powers of attorney, and advance medical directives. The conversation starts with the people and decisions involved, then turns to the documents and agreed work.
These are starting points for discussion. You do not need to assemble a complete file before the fit call.
If a Page County home or parcel is part of the question, the county’s real-estate information page describes public information that includes deed-book references. Its Circuit Court page explains access to land-record images. Tell us what you already have; we can discuss which records the planning work calls for.
In a free 30-minute phone call, we discuss what you want to get settled and whether Prior Law is the right fit.
If we are a good fit and you want to continue with estate planning, the next step is a paid 60–90-minute design meeting. We discuss the specifics of your plan. The meeting fee is credited toward your flat fee if you choose to proceed.
After the design meeting, you decide whether to move forward. If you do, you pay the remaining flat-fee balance, and we build your plan and work with you to put it in place.
You may be calling from Page County for yourself, or helping a parent in Luray, Stanley, or the Town of Shenandoah find an attorney. Tell us who wants the planning help and how that person would like to take part. We will discuss who the proposed client is and how to arrange the next conversation.
Being the family organizer does not mean every decision falls to you. It may help to list the documents that already exist and the concern that prompted the call. “Mom wants to review the people she named” is a useful starting point.
If relatives live in different places, mention that early. We discuss suitable meeting and signing arrangements, including travel, technology, or accessibility needs, before scheduling the next step.
Tell us at the beginning of the call. Help with an existing estate is a different engagement from creating your own plan. We discuss the facts, appropriate scope, and fees. Read about our probate and estate-administration services.
Learn about our estate-planning services. We also have service-area information for Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, along with our full service-area overview.
Start with the decision that keeps getting put off, the older document you are unsure about, or the question your family keeps asking. We will use the first call to understand what you need and whether we can help.
