Serving Southwest Colorado

If your matter involves a court proceeding, it can be more efficient and cost-effective to work with a local attorney familiar with the region’s court system. Lynne Bruzzese proudly serves clients across Colorado, with a special focus on communities in La Plata, Archuleta, Montezuma, Dolores, San Juan, Mineral, Alamosa and San Miguel counties.

We have COVID-19 protocols in place that allow for safe and secure drop-offs of bank and credit card statements, death certificates, real estate appraisal reports, and many other deeply personal and confidential documents that you’ll need to share in an estate planning, probate or trust administration matter. In accordance with these protocols, we also offer appointments by phone or videoconference, or in an appropriately distanced, sheltered outdoor location.

I’m New to Colorado. Do I Need to Update My Estate Planning Documents?

If you’ve already created an estate plan with an experienced lawyer in another state, you’ve likely completed most of the heavy lifting.

However, after a relocation, it’s quite likely your life situation has changed. If that change has been significant or your estate plan is more than a few years old, it’s probably time for an update or a review anyway.
