About Legacy & Life Law Firm

Lawyer Brandon Ayers founded the Legacy & Life Law Firm, LLC after a decade of experience of helping clients plan for some of the most important parts of their lives, for some of the most important people in their lives, at some of the most important times of their lives, with the most important things in their lives. The Firm is equipped to help clients in all phases of life – from helping young families as they grow, to protecting young or vulnerable children, to transitioning to the empty nest phase of life, through managing dreaded diagnosis,  and finally passing on values and wealth to the next generation.

The Firm prioritizes the needs of its clients and strives to produce outcomes that are on time, every time, and exactly as promised. If you or a loved one have concerns about protecting  young or vulnerable children if something happens to you, are worried about probate or other unnecessary court proceedings, are losing sleep over the idea of paying too much in taxes, or want to make sure you make things as easy as possible for your loved ones, we may be the right fit for you. Please reach out, we would love to chat with you about your specific situation.
