The way we feel when we come to die is very much dependent on the way we have lived. 
If our daily life has been positive and meaningful, when the end comes, even though we do not wish for it, we will be able to accept it as a part of our life. We will have no regrets.

- The Dalai Lama

Phinney Estate Law is a small law firm serving individuals and families in the Seattle area by providing legal assistance with:
  • Estate Planning & Disability Planning
  • Probate & Trust Administration (Traditional & Collaborative)
  • Guardianship & Elder Law
  • Mediation & Conflict Coaching
In our Estate Planning, Phinney Estate Law provides all of the traditional estate planning tools including Wills, Trusts, and Durable Powers of Attorney.  What makes our holistic approach to estate planning unique is our focus on making sure that the tools utilized match up with the client core values and larger goals for their lives and their families. 

In the Probate, Trust Administration, and Guardianship contexts we use this same approach and focus our practice on helping families and individuals to efficiently achieve their legal goals while working to maintain as fully as possible family harmony and personal dignity. As a result our practice emphasizes non-litigated conflict resolution whenever possible. 

Consistent with the approach we take to client services, we have endeavored to have our firm practices be consistent with our values as a firm.  To this end we have attempted to use best practices with regard to pro bono service, environmental sustainability, and community involvement. We invite you to learn more about the firm and read our attorney profiles.
