Compassionate Estate Planning and Elder Law in Buckhead

Helping You Find the Bright Side of Planning

Brightside Estate and Elder Law is a boutique law firm located in the vibrant Buckhead Village, dedicated to helping families navigate the complexities of aging and wealth transfer. Founded by Trace Brooks, an attorney with a specialized LL.M. in Taxation and a heart for service, the firm takes a holistic approach to estate planning. Unlike general practice firms, Brightside focuses exclusively on the needs of seniors, individuals with special needs, and families looking to protect their legacy. The firm’s name reflects its mission: to provide clarity, peace of mind, and a positive outlook on the future, even when dealing with difficult subjects like disability, death, and taxes. Trace Brooks and his team are known for their ability to explain complex legal concepts in plain English, empowering clients to make informed decisions.

The firm specializes in three core areas: Estate Planning, Elder Law, and Special Needs Planning. They understand that a good plan is about more than just documents; it is about protecting the people you love. Whether helping a family qualify for Medicaid to cover nursing home costs, creating a special needs trust for a disabled child, or drafting a comprehensive will to avoid probate, Brightside provides tailored solutions. The firm also offers robust asset protection strategies for business owners and high-net-worth individuals. Located in the modern Aaron’s Building in Buckhead, the office offers a welcoming and accessible environment where clients can feel comfortable sharing their personal stories and goals.
