49th Estate Planning – Juneau, AK

Compassionate Estate Planning for Alaska Families

49th Estate Planning is a modern law firm based in Juneau, Alaska, dedicated to helping families and individuals secure their future with peace of mind. Led by attorney Liz Smith, the firm specializes exclusively in Estate Planning, Elder Law, and Probate. Unlike traditional law firms that may bill by the hour, 49th Estate Planning operates on a flat-fee model, ensuring transparency and eliminating the fear of surprise legal bills. Their mission is to make high-quality legal planning accessible to everyone, from young families with minor children to seniors planning for long-term care.

The firm understands that discussing topics like incapacity and death can be uncomfortable. That’s why they have created a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment. They utilize a unique Life & Legacy Planning Session to help clients get organized and understand their options before any documents are drafted. Whether you need a simple Will, a comprehensive Revocable Living Trust to avoid probate, or specialized Medicaid Planning to protect assets from nursing home costs, 49th Estate Planning has the expertise to guide you.

Comprehensive Planning Services

• Wills and Trusts: creating custom estate plans that reflect your values and ensure your assets pass to your loved ones efficiently.
• Kids Protection Plan: specialized planning for parents of minor children to ensure they are raised by the guardians you choose, not the court.
• Elder Law and Medicaid: Helping seniors navigate the complex rules of Medicaid eligibility and asset protection for long-term care.
• Probate and Trust Administration: Assisting families in settling estates after a loved one has passed, minimizing stress during a difficult time.
• Special Needs Planning: developing legal structures to support family members with disabilities without jeopardizing their government benefits.

One of the firm’s key differentiators is its commitment to building lifelong relationships. They don’t just draft documents and disappear; they offer ongoing support to ensure your plan evolves as your life changes. They also offer virtual appointments for clients who cannot come to the office, serving families across Southeast Alaska. If you are looking to find a lawyer who will treat you like a person and not a case file, 49th Estate Planning is the right choice.
