Estate Planning for Erie Families
Erie sits at the intersection of Boulder and Weld counties, and the families who've made it home are much like the town itself — a mix of newer arrivals and longtime Front Range residents, many of them homeowners with young children who've been meaning to get an estate plan in place for a while.
A will ensures your property goes to the right people and names a guardian for your minor children. 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 when and how your beneficiaries receive what you leave behind. Which combination makes sense depends on your situation — and that's what the consultation is for.
Nicole works with Erie clients throughout Boulder and Weld County and is familiar with the jurisdictional considerations that come with Erie's county-line location.

Estate Planning Services for Erie 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 wishes in writing — who inherits your property, who serves as executor, and who you've named as guardian for your minor children. Without one, Colorado's intestacy laws and a court decide those questions.
A revocable living trust transfers your assets to your beneficiaries without probate. For Erie families with real estate in Boulder or Weld County, a trust can simplify the transfer and keep the process private.
A durable financial power of attorney and a medical power of attorney designate who can act for you immediately in a financial or medical emergency — without requiring court involvement.

A Note on Erie's County-Line Location
Erie straddles Boulder and Weld counties, and that geographic split matters for estate planning in a practical way. Which county court handles your probate case depends on where you lived and where your property is located. If you own property in both counties, the picture becomes more complex.
Nicole is familiar with both Boulder County and Weld County probate procedures and can make sure your plan is structured correctly for your specific situation — not a generic Colorado template.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does McGann Law Group serve Erie, Colorado?
Yes. We serve Erie clients with the full range of estate planning services — wills, trusts, powers of attorney, living wills, and probate support. Our Longmont office is a short drive from Erie via I-25, and virtual consultations by Zoom or phone are available for clients who prefer to meet remotely.
Does it matter that Erie is partly in Boulder County and partly in Weld County?
It can, depending on where you live and where your property is located. The county affects which court handles your probate case and may affect other legal proceedings. Nicole is familiar with both Boulder County and Weld County procedures and will make sure your plan accounts for your specific situation.
Do I need an estate plan if I just moved to Erie?
If you've bought a home or have children, yes. A home purchase is one of the most common triggers for putting a first estate plan together — your home is typically your most significant asset, and without a will or trust, Colorado's intestacy laws determine what happens to it. If you have minor children, a will is also the only document that lets you name who raises them.
Who handles probate for Erie residents?
It depends on which county the property and the deceased's residence fall in. Boulder County cases go to Boulder County District Court; Weld County cases go to Weld County District Court. Nicole can help identify the right jurisdiction and handle the filing.
Can I meet with Nicole virtually instead of driving to Longmont?
Yes. After booking, Nicole will confirm whether you'd prefer to meet in person, by Zoom, or by phone. All three options are available.
