The firm

Estate planning is less about documents than about people. We make sure your wishes are honored, your assets are protected, and your family is spared confusion when it matters most.

Whether you need estate planning, probate administration, Medicaid planning, asset protection, or help through a conservatorship or guardianship, we bring years of experience, steady judgment, and plain-spoken guidance to every conversation. No jargon, no pressure, no question too small.

Practice areas

How we help Hawaiʻi families

Nine practice areas, one steady hand. Most matters begin with a single, free conversation about what you want protected.

01

Estate Planning & Trusts

No matter how great or humble your wealth, you want to preserve it for yourself and the people you love. We build wills, trusts, and directives around your wishes.

02

Probate

A common misconception is that a will lets you avoid probate. It does not. We guide families through Hawaiʻi probate cleanly, and help you plan so loved ones can avoid it.

03

Medicaid Planning

Medicaid is the only government program that pays for long-term care, and it should not be confused with Medicare. We help you plan ahead and qualify.

04

Asset Protection

Thoughtful structures that shield what you have worked for from creditors, taxes, and the costs of long-term care, so more of it reaches the next generation.

05

Guardianship & Conservatorship

When a loved one can no longer manage their own affairs, we guide you through the court process with care and clarity.

06

Special Needs Planning

Parents of children with special needs want to provide the best possible care, without jeopardizing essential benefits. We design special needs trusts that protect both.

Estate & Trust Administration, Litigation

Administering a trust or estate, or facing a dispute over one. We handle the full range of related matters.

Our approach

A clear path,
from first call to lasting plan.

Good planning should feel calm and unhurried. Here is how we work, every step of the way.

Listen 01

The free consult

We start with a relaxed conversation, by Zoom or in person, about your family, your assets, and what you want protected.

Design 02

We design a plan around your wishes: the right mix of wills, trusts, directives, and protection for your situation.

Sign 03

A painless signing

We prepare and execute your documents properly, so they hold up when they are needed. Many clients are done in under an hour.

Protect 04

Through the years

We keep your plan current as life and the law change, and we are here when your family needs us most.

I found Dean on Yelp while in town to take care of my mom’s paperwork. He heard my circumstances, squeezed us in for a signing, and even offered a free Zoom consult. The final signing was painless and we were out in under an hour. Great rates too. Give this firm a ring.

Estate planning is really complicated when you research it on your own. Dean is genuinely a nice, down to earth guy. I would recommend him to anyone looking for estate planning. He will take good care of you and get done what you need to get done.
