Estate Planning for Broomfield Families
Broomfield has grown quickly, and so have the families who've settled here — professionals, dual-income households, young parents, and homeowners who bought in a market that's made their home their most significant asset. For many of them, estate planning is something they know they should do but haven't made time for.
That gap matters. If you have a home, children, or anyone who depends on you, you have a reason to have an estate plan. A will determines who inherits your property and who raises your children if something happens to you. Powers of attorney authorize trusted people to manage your finances and healthcare decisions if you're incapacitated. A trust can keep your estate out of probate and give you more control over how your assets are distributed.
Most Broomfield families are doing these consultations for the first time. Nicole has worked with hundreds of first-time estate planning clients and structures every consultation around making the process clear and manageable — not overwhelming.

Estate Planning Services for Broomfield Clients
If you're serving as executor of an estate or managing affairs after a family member has passed, we can walk you through every step of the proces
Probate
A will puts your asset distribution and guardianship wishes in writing. For Broomfield parents, the guardianship designation alone — naming who raises your children if something happens to you and your spouse — is one of the most important legal steps you can take.
A revocable living trust avoids probate, provides for incapacity, and gives you control over how and when beneficiaries receive assets. For families where a home is the primary asset, a trust can simplify the transfer considerably.
A durable financial power of attorney and a medical power of attorney authorize trusted people to act for you immediately in a financial or medical emergency — without requiring a court order first.

First Time Doing This? That's Who We Work With Most.

That's exactly the situation the initial consultation is designed for.
Nicole will ask about your assets, your family structure, and your goals. She'll explain which documents make sense for your situation, what each one does, and what the process involves. You'll leave with a clear picture of next steps and a clear sense of what it will cost — before committing to anything.
We do this work for Broomfield families every day. It's simpler than most people expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does McGann Law Group serve Broomfield, Colorado?
Yes. We serve Broomfield clients with the full range of estate planning services — wills, trusts, powers of attorney, living wills, and probate support. Nicole meets clients in person at 11001 West 120th Avenue, Suite 400, and virtual consultations are available for clients throughout the area.
Do I need an estate plan if I'm young and don't have a lot of assets?
If you have children, a home, or anyone who depends on you, yes. Estate planning isn't about wealth — it's about making sure your wishes are documented and the right people have legal authority to act on them. For young Broomfield families, the most important documents are often a will (to name a guardian for your children) and powers of attorney (so your spouse or a trusted person can handle your finances and healthcare if you're incapacitated).
Who handles probate in Broomfield County?
Broomfield County is its own county with its own district court. Broomfield County probate matters are filed there. Nicole is familiar with Colorado probate procedures and can help executors and families navigate the process.
We just bought our first home in Broomfield. Is now a good time to set up an estate plan?
Yes — buying a home is one of the most common triggers for putting a first estate plan together, and for good reason. A home is typically the largest asset in an estate, and how it's titled and what happens to it after death need to be decided deliberately. If you also have children, that adds urgency: a will is the only document that lets you legally designate who raises them.
Can I do estate planning virtually if in-person doesn't work for my schedule?
Yes. After booking, Nicole will confirm your preferred format — in-person at the Broomfield office, by Zoom, or by phone. All three are available.
