What Our Clients Are Saying:

“I just watched online ‘Wills & Trusts Explained’ with Jesse Bifulco, Esq. It was a great presentation in which he explained well the differences in a very understandable but professional manner. I will be taking advantage of a free consultation. If you’re like me you’ve been putting these matters off.” – Google Review.

Maine Estate Planning That’s Right For You.

We use wills, trusts and other estate planning tools to create estate plans that save taxes, protect your estate from nursing home costs, possible divorce, bankruptcy, and remarriage, for you, your spouse, your children and grandchildren.

LifeCounsel® … Plans that Work!

LifeCounsel® is built on my 25 years of legal experience. What is LifeCounsel?

LifeCounsel® is a four-part system to ensure that your estate plan meets your unique goals and prioritizes your unique concerns.

Step 1 is knowledge.

Step 2 is Goals and Concerns.

Step 3 is Design.

Step 4 is Follow-Through and free Periodic-Review.

Most estate plans fail for 3 reasons: they are not customized, they do not contain the wisdom of the planner, and, lastly, they are not maintained.
LifeCounsel® fixes all of that.
