Who We Help
At Usoro & Associates, P.C., we understand how much your family means to you. You’ve worked hard for everything you have, and you want to pass it on in a way that feels meaningful and stress-free.
Family People
Whether you’re single, married, raising children, or part of a blended or modern family, one thing is certain: you care deeply about your loved ones and want to make things as easy as possible for them when something happens. Unfortunately, the probate process can be slow, costly, and emotionally draining. Every year, billions of dollars in assets go unclaimed simply because families don’t have the right plans in place. We help families of every kind protect what matters most—so your legacy is passed on smoothly, privately, and with intention.
Blended Families
When you have children from previous relationships, estate planning becomes even more essential. Even the most loving families can face conflict after a loss, and without clear direction, tensions can rise quickly. With thoughtful planning, you can minimize potential disputes and ensure that everyone you care about is provided for—with fairness, clarity, and compassion. We help you design a plan that unites your family and protects the people you love.
Life Partners
If you’re in a long-term partnership but not legally married, estate planning is especially critical. Without proper documents, the law does not automatically recognize your partner’s rights in medical, financial, or end-of-life decisions. We help you take proactive steps to ensure your partner can access your hospital bedside, make healthcare decisions, and carry out your wishes—so you remain in control of your life, no matter what happens.
Married With Children
When you’re married with children, it might seem simple—you want your spouse to make decisions for you if you can’t, and your assets to pass to them, then to your children. But there’s more to it than that. Without a comprehensive plan, families can face court delays, confusion, or even the loss of assets to the state. We guide you through every step, ensuring your family stays out of court and out of conflict, no matter what the future holds.
Single Parents
If you’re raising children on your own, estate planning is one of the most important gifts you can give them. You deserve peace of mind knowing your children will be cared for by the people you choose—and that the resources you leave behind will be properly managed for their future. We help you put those decisions in writing, legally and securely, so there’s no uncertainty when it matters most.
Your Chosen Family
Family looks different for everyone. Whether your loved ones are relatives, lifelong friends, or the people you’ve chosen along the way—you want to ensure they’re cared for and supported if something happens to you. We help you define exactly who should make decisions, receive assets, and carry out your wishes. Your estate plan should reflect the life you’ve built and the people you hold dear, not just what the law assumes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Planning
What Is A Last Will?
A Last Will allows you to distribute certain assets after your death—but it must be filed with the probate court to be valid, making it a public and often lengthy process. Many families don’t realize that beneficiary designations, outdated documents, or missing plans can delay access to assets or even result in unclaimed funds.
The best outcomes happen when you work with an estate planning attorney who understands the complexities of family dynamics and law. At Usoro & Associates, we build lifelong relationships with our clients so we can support your family when you no longer can.
Do I Need An Attorney?
In the world of estate planning, the best outcome for you, your family, and your loved ones will be achieved only by working with a lawyer who encounters estate planning situations daily. You have worked your whole life for what you have and the relationships you have created. Unfortunately, some families collapse after the death of a loved one because they either did no planning at all, or if they did, it was through an online platform that knew nothing about their family or circumstances and that ultimately failed them when their family needed help the most. We encourage a lifelong relationship between you and your estate planning attorney so that you have a lawyer for life to be there for your family when you cannot be.
How much does it cost?
We know the topic of cost can feel uncomfortable, so we make it simple. All of our services are flat-rate and transparent, with no hidden fees or hourly billing. Every family’s situation is unique, which is why we begin with an educational consultation to review your goals and outline clear next steps.
What is a Trust?
A Revocable Living Trust can act as a private alternative to a will. Unlike a will, it doesn’t go through probate—keeping your affairs private and your loved ones in control. The right choice depends on your assets and family structure, which we’ll evaluate together to build a plan that works best for you.
I Heard Estate Planning Is only for the rich. Is that true?
Not at all. At Usoro & Associates, we believe true legacy planning includes passing on your values, wisdom, and life lessons, not just financial assets. Through our Life & Legacy process, you can leave behind personal messages, stories, and guidance for your loved ones—gifts that mean more than anything money could buy.
What if i move?
Yes. Your estate plan remains valid anywhere in the U.S. However, because each state’s laws vary slightly, we recommend having your plan reviewed by a Personal Family Lawyer® in your new location to ensure everything remains up to date.
How Much Should My Estate Plan Cost
Many families shop for an estate plan based solely on price, not realizing that a low-cost plan may fail to protect their loved ones or properly manage their assets. This guide explains why cost alone is not the best way to choose an estate plan and how a Life & Legacy Planning Session ensures your family is financially organized, informed, and empowered.
