About
History
Listening and compassion
Fairfield & Vance LLP started with a single goal: take the mystery and the worry out of estate planning and trust administration for clients at every financial level. We get there by listening first, then guiding you through the parts that actually matter to you.
Every family comes to us with a different set of goals, so we start by learning yours. Whether you’re building a comprehensive estate plan from scratch or trying to figure out your role as a trustee or a beneficiary, we’ll walk you through it step by step and answer the questions you didn’t know to ask. You protect the people you love, and we’ll help you do it with confidence.
Our Values
Knowledge
We never really stop learning. Estate planning isn’t the kind of work you can master once and set aside, so our attorneys stay in it, reading the cases, following the changes, putting in the continuing education hours that keep our knowledge sharp and current. When you sit down with us, you’re getting advice informed by what we know today, not what was true a decade ago.
Understanding
Guidance
When you’re not sure which way to go or you’re afraid of getting it wrong, that’s exactly the moment to call. We’ll take the time to understand what’s actually going on in your life, because the answer that fits your neighbor’s family usually won’t fit yours. Once we understand your situation, we lay out your options in plain terms, so the decision you make is one you actually understand and feel good about.
