Andrea Lauritzen, Attorney-at-Law

As an estate attorney, I’ve helped hundreds of couples and individuals plan their estates as well as help family members carry out their loved ones’ wishes through probate and trust administration.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this work is to help people like you navigate your next steps in life and help you establish your legacy.

Through past experience as an estate litigation attorney, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when estate documents are unclear or a loved one’s wishes are not set down on paper. I understand the importance of clear directives and documentation supporting your wants and needs.

I want you to feel empowered to establish goals and have the peace of mind that you’re taken care of no matter what stage of life you may be in right now.

I can show you ways to minimize disputes and ill-will among your children over the estate and preserve family relationships. I can help you protect your beneficiaries’ inheritance against divorce, remarriage, lawsuits, and bankruptcy.

I help families protect their assets, assist with planning for aging or disabled loved ones, and establish clear instructions for their wishes to be carried out. I create trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and similar tools to empower clients like you and their families to take decisive action when they need it most. Whether it be complex Medicaid planning, forming an LLC or a trust, or drafting a simple will, I craft estate plans tailored to my client’s needs and goals.

You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I am an attorney at the law firm Smith Alling, P.S., in Tacoma, WA, here to provide you and your loved ones with exceptional legal services.
