About

Lovas Law, operating as Legacy Law Center, P.C., is an estate planning and elder law practice based in Billings, Montana, serving clients who want comprehensive guidance on preserving and transferring family wealth. Founded by Sol Lovas in 1992 after several years practicing with a larger firm, the practice focuses exclusively on what the firm calls "Legacy Law"—a coordinated approach to estate planning, trust administration, Medicaid planning, special needs law, and elder law matters.

Sol Lovas holds a J.D. from the University of Montana School of Law, earned in 1979 with high honors, and is the first and only Certified Elder Law Attorney in Montana, a credential issued by the National Elder Law Foundation and recognized by the American Bar Association. Her background includes a clerkship with a U.S. District Judge and adjunct teaching in estate administration. She has been practicing Legacy Law in the Billings area since 1980 and brings over 30 years of experience to her client work.

The firm's approach centers on understanding a client's entire financial and tax picture rather than simply drafting a will or trust document. Lovas Law helps clients plan for both death and potential disability, address long-term care costs and Medicaid eligibility, establish special needs trusts for disabled family members, and structure the transfer of assets to family, friends, or charitable causes during lifetime or after death. The firm emphasizes clear communication, preparing estate plan documents in plain English that clients can understand and work with confidently.

The practice extends beyond wealthy estates; Lovas Law works with families across different circumstances and backgrounds, guided by principles of caring, compassion, and non-judgmental acceptance. The firm also administers trusts and estates after a client's death, helping families navigate probate and trust administration.

Located at 2817 Second Avenue North, Suite 207, in Billings, Lovas Law is open Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and also provides house calls for clients with mobility limitations. The firm is a member of the State Bar of Montana, the American Bar Association, and the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. Clients can reach the office at 406-252-7522.
