Life & Legacy Law - Boulder, CO

Compassionate and Holistic Estate and Legacy Planning in Boulder

Most traditional estate planning experiences end with a stack of technical legal documents that are left in a drawer and quickly become outdated as life evolves. At Life & Legacy Law, we do things differently. Located in Boulder, Colorado, our firm was founded by Stanford Law School alumnus Stephen Villanueva with a passionate mission: to bring back the "personal" in personal legal counsel. We don't just draft legal documents; we act as your trusted lifetime advisor, helping you make informed, empowered choices for your family, your business, and your future. If you need to hire an estate planning lawyer who values shared connection and treats you as an individual, our firm provides the comprehensive planning you need to achieve peace of mind.

Whether you are married, single, raising young children, navigating a blended family, or preparing for retirement, we design customized plans that keep your family out of court and out of conflict. If you are looking to find a wills attorney who goes beyond financial assets to protect your values, stories, and intellectual legacies, we offer a modern, relational approach designed to endure through all of life's transitions.

Protecting Your Loved Ones with Custom Wills and Trusts

• Wills and Living Trusts: We design robust, customized documents to bypass the costly, public probate process and protect your family's privacy.
• Powers of Attorney and Health Care Directives: We establish clear medical and financial decision-making authority to protect you in the event of temporary or permanent incapacity.
• Asset Protection & Wealth Preservation: We help families protect their hard-earned assets from nursing home costs, lawsuit exposure, and unintended estate tax liabilities.
• Kids Protection Planning: We establish legally sound guardianship designations to ensure your minor children are always raised by the people you choose and trust, never by a court-appointed stranger.
