Faith-Based Estate Planning for Catholic Families

From One Parent To Another…

Laura-Meier-Guided-by-Grace

Hi, I’m Laura

Over the years, I have seen how so many families fail to create a will, trust, or estate plan, or if they do, treat it as a secular transaction that does not truly reflect their wishes and values. In the end, too many loved ones end up facing a serious illness or death without being legally prepared, and without fully understanding the spiritual protections that Jesus longs for them to have during their greatest times of need. 

As a family trust estate planning attorney and best-selling author, I have helped thousands of families create estate plans that will protect their assets and loved ones. But I have always felt there is a big missing piece to that process for those who love God and want to incorporate His grace and protections into such monumental decisions…

My desire to create a more faith-based plan for my own family led me to deep dive into what God says about these issues. I discovered that within the teachings from the Holy Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Catholic families have all the spiritual guidance they need. My small part was bringing it all together along with the legal and practical guidance you’ll need in the book Guided by Grace, and the accompanying estate planning workshop.

Friend, God loves you so deeply and longs to be present in your life, your suffering, and in your death. My sincere hope is that this guidance will not only provide you with all the legal, practical, and spiritual protections you need to navigate end-of-life matters but will also inspire all of us to live our lives for God as we strive to create a wonderful legacy for the generations to come. Let’s pray for each other’s families as we embark on this journey together.

All the Legal, Practical, and Spiritual Protections You’ll Need to Live and Die in Peace.

Friend, God loves you so deeply and longs to be present in your life, in your suffering, and in your transition into eternal life. Yet, far too many Catholic families fail to create a family estate plan for the inevitable, or approach planning for end-of-life matters as a secular task.

In Guided by Grace, estate planning attorney and mother, Laura Meier, provides Catholic families groundbreaking guidance for creating a family estate plan that goes well beyond just the legal and practical considerations.  Based on teachings from the Holy Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Laura will also show you the spiritual protections Jesus longs for you to have during your greatest times of need.

  • Avoid a long and expensive court process known as probate that can rip good families apart.

  • Protect your beneficiaries from creditors, predators, lawsuits, and divorce, while answering God’s call for good stewardship.
  • Ensure your complete medical care, with legal directives rooted in both science and faith.

  • Bless the generations to come with a legacy that goes on forever.

Finally, you can create a family estate plan that is both practical and holy!
