Shenandoah Valley Estate Planning Guides

Prior Law serves families across the Central Shenandoah Valley, and local practice varies more than most people expect. Each circuit court has its own clerk’s office rhythms, and the Commissioner of Accounts overseeing an estate in one county may want things presented differently than in the next.
This section collects articles written for specific communities in the Valley: Waynesboro, Staunton, Augusta County, Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, Lexington and Rockbridge County, and the surrounding area. They cover the same core topics as the rest of the site, with the local detail that actually matters when you are the one filing.
The firm is mobile, which means we come to you rather than asking you to come to an office. That matters for clients who are homebound, caring for someone who is, or simply spread across the Valley from us.
