About

49th Estate Planning is a Juneau-based estate planning law firm serving families and individuals throughout Alaska. With offices in Juneau and Fairbanks, the firm also offers virtual services and travels statewide to meet clients where they are.

The firm specializes in comprehensive estate planning tailored to Alaska families. Services include wills, trusts, probate administration, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and elder law planning. The firm also advises on special needs planning, Medicaid planning, and asset protection strategies. A particular focus is helping families with minor children ensure guardianship preferences are documented and that assets are managed according to their wishes, rather than by state default.

49th Estate Planning operates on a flat-fee model, eliminating hourly billing uncertainty and surprise costs. This transparent pricing structure reflects the firm's commitment to client peace of mind. The attorneys work to guide clients through estate planning decisions with precision and care, recognizing that these matters are often sensitive and deeply personal. The firm emphasizes that a small investment in planning now can prevent significant probate costs and family uncertainty later.

Client testimonials highlight the firm's attention to detail and professional demeanor. Clients consistently mention feeling neither rushed nor overwhelmed during the planning process, and report leaving with confidence that their affairs and their loved ones' futures are protected. One client noted that virtual services made the process accessible from other parts of Southeast Alaska, while another praised the balance of professionalism with genuine care.

The firm's website offers educational resources, including a blog and podcast series on estate planning topics. Episodes address practical concerns such as funeral planning, memorial service preparation, and capturing family stories for future generations. The firm also provides tools and tips to help clients understand the importance of updating plans after major life events—marriage, divorce, birth of children, or significant asset changes.

49th Estate Planning is committed to ensuring that Alaska families understand their options and make informed decisions about their legacies and their loved ones' protection.
