Waynesboro Wills, Trusts & Estate Planning
Getting an estate plan in place means deciding what you want for your family and who you trust to help. You do not need to arrive knowing whether you need a will, a trust, or a particular document.

I’m Vince Prior, a Virginia attorney based in Waynesboro. I help local families prepare and revisit wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance medical directives. We start with your concerns and work out the planning that fits.
Your first estate plan in Waynesboro
Start with the questions you would want someone to ask you before preparing documents:
- Who do you want to provide for? Tell me about your spouse or partner, children, and anyone whose needs call for particular attention.
- Who would you trust with responsibility? Consider the people you would ask to handle money, take part in healthcare decisions, or help with your family.
- What do you own, and what matters most? Your Waynesboro home, financial accounts, or property elsewhere can all belong in the discussion.
Our estate-planning services bring those choices together. During the design work, we discuss wills and trusts alongside the rest of your plan, including the follow-through needed for the approach you choose.
Already have a will or trust?
If you moved to Waynesboro with an existing plan, or your family has changed since it was signed, start by telling us what is different. A new home, a marriage, a loss, or a change in the people you would choose to help can give the review a clear focus.
Bring up documents prepared in another state, accounts you have opened or closed, and anyone named in the old plan whom you would no longer choose. We will discuss the scope and fee for reviewing your documents before that work begins. The free phone call helps identify that next step.
A local point of contact, with flexible planning meetings
Prior Law is based in Waynesboro and offers mobile and virtual planning meetings. Tell us what works around your job, caregiving, mobility, and comfort with technology. We will discuss the arrangements appropriate and available for your matter, including the later signing steps.
If you are contacting us about a parent, begin with your parent’s wishes and the concern that prompted the call. We will clarify whose interests the engagement would represent and who should participate in the planning conversation.
How your estate-planning process works

Handling an estate after a death
If you need help after someone has died, tell us that when you get in touch. Our probate and estate-administration service addresses that work, with its own scope, fees, and next steps. Mention any court correspondence or deadline you have received.
For official local court contact details, use the Waynesboro Circuit Court directory. The link is a public resource, not a determination of where an estate should be handled.

Start with the question on your mind
You do not need to collect every record before calling. Tell me what you want to get settled, and we can see whether Prior Law is the right fit. — Vince
