Our process
From first conversation to a plan you understand.
Complex papers should become a sequence you can follow. This is how a matter usually moves.
Step 1
Book your consultation
A complimentary 60-minute consultation at the office, by video, or by phone. No deposit, no obligation.
Step 2
Design your plan
In that same meeting, Carmen recommends the estate plan or trust administration path that fits your family. For estate planning, you get a flat-fee quote in writing, and nothing is due until you choose to get started.
Step 3
Sign and fund your trust
You sign with a notary at the office, and we help fund the trust so it is not left empty, including a conversation with your financial advisors when you want one.
Testimonials
What clients say about working with us.
“Having a plan in place for the unexpected was a tremendous help. I appreciate Carmen making sure that we properly funded our trust. I used my husband’s power of attorney before his death. Specific, properly executed, and clear.”
“Working with Carmen gave us peace of mind we didn’t know we needed. She explained everything in a way that made sense. What could have been overwhelming was actually empowering.”
“Carmen at CBM Estate & Trust Law is truly exceptional! She guided us through the estate planning process with incredible professionalism and care. We felt completely at ease knowing our family’s future was in such capable hands. Highly recommend!”

MetLife and ARAG
If your employer offers a legal plan.
If your employer offers MetLife Legal Plans, you may be eligible to receive most estate planning services at no cost for yourself, and often for an eligible spouse and dependents under your plan. Coverage depends on your plan. MetLife members can upgrade to CBM’s Private Client package at a reduced rate for services beyond plan coverage. Mention MetLife when you book.
If your benefit is ARAG, coverage depends on your plan. Mention ARAG when you book.
- Tell us whether you have MetLife Legal Plans or ARAG.
- We explain, in general terms, how these benefits usually work.
- If something sits outside the plan, we say so before any work begins.
- A private consultation is still available if you have no employer plan.
