Spokane County Estate Planning Attorney

A lawyer who cares as much about your future as you do. 

These days, time often seems to go by in the blink of an eye. No sooner do you get up and go to work than it is time to get dinner on the table. Your baby is now a teenager. Your 30th, 40th, or 50th birthday has come and gone. Today, it can be tough to take the time to think about tomorrow, but few things are more important than making sure you and your family have a plan to help you be ready for when tomorrow comes.

At Tate Law Offices, PLLC in Liberty Lake, Washington, we sit down with you, discuss your needs, wishes, and goals, and help you get the peace of mind that comes with planning for retirement, protecting your assets, and preparing for the future. Whether you are looking for estate planning or want an advocate for an elderly parent, we approach your situation with compassion, creativity, and an eye towards the best solution for you and your family.

Serving all of Spokane County and surrounding areas, including, but not limited to, Liberty Lake, Medical Lake, Spokane, Spokane Valley, Deer Park, and Airway Heights, we are here to provide you with high-quality legal advice and caring, responsive services.

Everybody benefits from an estate plan. 


Do you think estate planning is just for the wealthy? Think again. If you own a home, have a family, are in a second marriage, own a business, have property, are turning 18, or just want to reduce taxes and make retirement easier, then an estate plan is for you.

Estate planning helps ensure that your estate is transferred to your beneficiaries according to your wishes. It can help you provide not only for family members, but if you so choose, it can support a favorite cause or charity. Moreover, a well-drafted estate plan eases the burden on those you care about should you become incapacitated. At the same time, through gifting, charitable giving, and trust instruments, you can reduce the taxes on your estate.

Elements of an estate plan include

Last Will and Testament

Medical Directive (a.k.a. Living Will) 

Power of Attorney

Living Trust

Practice Areas

Ms Tate was very easy to work with. I appreciated how carefully she listened and asked clarifying questions when necessary. The language in the estate documents she created for me was clear, included my priorities and seemed much more comprehensive than similar documents I had seen from other lawyers. I will absolutely engage Ms. Tate for any estate document needs in the future.
