What Guides My Work

Ryan Smith

As I built a law practice, a real estate portfolio, and a larger-ish family (we have five kids), I started asking a question I couldn’t shake: What happens to all of this if I’m gone?That question pulled me into estate planning, and I’ve been helping families answer it ever since.I’ve worked with more than 1,000 clients, and there is a consistent pattern: people avoid the topic because thinking about death is uncomfortable. They tell themselves they’ll handle it later, when life feels less chaotic.No judgment. I did the same thing for years.But avoiding uncomfortable decisions now means choosing the hardest, most expensive path later.When families wait until someone dies, they’re left juggling probate courts, outdated documents, family conflicts, and bills that never needed to exist—all while they’re grieving.Families who plan ahead don’t avoid or hurry death. But they stop living with the hum of unanswered questions. They know who’s in charge. They know their kids will be cared for. They know the things they’ve spent a lifetime building won’t get sold off to cover legal fees.And that kind of clarity changes everything.
