Kurt always has multiple solutions for our estate planning and helps guide us towards what is best for our own particular situation. He takes his time and answers all of our questions. When the legalese becomes complex or difficult to understand, he's great at explaining in a way that is much more accommodating to our uneducated ears. I would highly recommend him without reservation.

jodie schiermeier
Professional and Extremely Knowledgeable
We have worked with Kurt and his firm for the past few years. This firm has been a great help and comfort with their expertise and guidance. Kurt is not only professional and extremely knowledgeable in Estate Planning and law but also mindful and attentive to certain sensitivities pertaining to such matters. We will continue to ask for his guidance as further needs may arise. It is so refreshing to work with a professional team whose priority is in their client relationship rather than a “fee schedule.”

Integrity, Support, Expertise, and Counsel
I cannot speak enough of Mr. Schwab's integrity, support, expertise, and counsel. I sought legal advice from Mr. Schwab for a very complicated family estate matter. From our very first interaction, he has been honest and realistic with my expectations over the outcomes. He stood by my side with my best interest at heart. He was able to see the situation objectively and drive the case forward. Mr. Schwab and his assistant, Maleah, are always quick to respond, friendly, and welcoming. They try their best to consider my personal schedule and needs, and always keep an open, honest, and compassionate line of communication. I could not imagine going through legal proceedings with anybody else. Not only have I referred multiple friends and family, but Rathdrum Estate Planning will remain my go-to for all of my estate needs!

Peace of Mind with Estate Planning
My husband and I highly recommend Post Falls Estate Planning. We had so many questions about putting together a family trust and Alex took his time explaining the legal terminology to us until we fully understood the pros and cons. We never felt pressured for time. Now we have peace of mind that our adult children won't have to deal with probate.

Friendly and professional people
Recently I called and made an appointment with Rathdrum Estate Planning. I was not expecting to be greeted with such friendly and professional people. The minute I walked through the door, a huge smile from Maleah Oestreich greeted me and a warm greeting from Alexander Haggard. He was so friendly and explained everything in detail, that I immediately relaxed. I was so impressed that I knew I made the correct choice in choosing Rathdrum Estate Planning. The price was such, I felt I could live with it and still buy groceries. Again, when I went for the signing of the documents, Mr. Haggard explained everything in detail and oh so patient with my questions. I highly recommend the Rathdrum or Post Falls Estate Planning. You will come away feeling you made a new friend. Thank you Maleah, Mr. Haggard - you are the best. God bless.

Highly Recommend Either Location
Wonderful experience with Kurt and Alex in all issues involved with estate planning. It was very convenient to use both locations since we have a very busy schedule. They kept us up to date with changes that we made and were thorough in finalizing all 10 points of concern to us. We feel very blessed to have had these men in charge of our final wishes and highly recommend either location.
Holly Moore
Worry-Free Future
Wonderful experience with Alexander Haggard. So glad his plan covers everything that you need to address for your family's peace of mind. Ours covered 10 points of concern, from health to money. We had several weeks to read over a first draft, make notes, etc., and then we went back with it to finalize. He made sure we understood all outcomes and made our changes happily. The final binder included a very easy-to-understand introduction and overview too. Both Alex and Kurt listen and are very positive, and are amazing family-oriented men. So happy with the final product and worry-free future.
Kurt and Malia were great to work with. Put together her trust and gave her all the time she needed to review it and ask all her questions.

"The process was easy from start to finish."Dena
Took my mom to Rathdrum Estate Planning to redo her trust after her husband passed. Kurt and Malia were great to work with. Put together her trust and gave her all the time she needed to review it and ask all her questions. Kurt was particularly careful to make sure she was not being influenced to change her trust against her wishes, and only involved my husband and I when necessary. The process was easy from start to finish, and I will be using them to establish our family trust. We will be picking up the hardcopy of her trust in a week, and they are available to ask questions of at any time.
"Met our needs perfectly!"Former Client
Highly recommend Rathdrum Estate Planning. As an older couple we wanted to get our affairs in order and Alex helped us develop a trust that met our needs perfectly. we now have peace of mind that our adult children will will not have to deal with probate after our passing.

While it's possible to create basic estate documents using online tools, consulting a lawyer ensures your plan complies with state laws and accurately reflects your wishes. Professional advice can help address complex situations effectively.
At what age should I consider estate planning?
It's never too early to start estate planning. Once you have assets or dependents, creating an estate plan is prudent to ensure your wishes are clear and protect your loved ones. It's especially important after major life milestones like marriage or having children.
What happens if I don't have an estate plan?
Without an estate plan, state laws dictate how your assets are distributed, which may not match your wishes. The process can be lengthy, costly, and stressful for your loved ones. An estate plan ensures your wishes are known and respected.
How does an estate plan affect taxes?
An estate plan can help minimize the amount of estate taxes and other expenses your heirs might face. By using tools like trusts, you can dictate how your assets are distributed and potentially reduce tax liabilities. Consulting a tax professional or estate planner can offer more specific guidance.
