I am a United State Military Academy - ARMY-WEST POINT - graduate (Class of 1984), and I served honorably in the U.S. Army, achieving the rank of Captain, and then attended law school at Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, graduating in 1992 with my Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree. I have been licensed since 1994 and focus my practice on Estate Planning, Wills, Trusts, Elder Law, Probate, Conservatorships, and Guardianships. I prepare legal documents such as Living Trusts (including Special Needs and many other types of Trusts), Wills, Healthcare Directives to Physicians (also called Living Wills), Powers of Attorney, Contracts, Real Estate Property Deeds, and related documents in these areas of law. I also represent clients in Guardianship and Conservatorship matters, and also in Litigation, such as Will Contests and Trust & Estate Dispute Resolution matters. I have a well-rounded and unique perspective also because I spent about ten (10) years in the insurance and financial services industry, where I initially earned my credential as a "Certified Senior Advisor." I have been a sole practitioner of Prukop Law Firm since its inception in 2013.
My office is located at 23403 East Mission Avenue, Suite 200, in the beautiful "Inland Northwest" town of Liberty Lake, Washington, just off the I-90 freeway, west of the Spokane River, and only 3 miles from the Idaho border. Although I typically meet clients at my offices, I am available to meet clients at a mutually convenient location when necessary. I PROVIDE A FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION. I accept Credit Cards, Personal Checks, Cashier's Checks, Money Orders, & Cash.
I have clients in all three states where I practice, Idaho, Washington, and California. I treat my clients' estate plans just like I would treat my own, and advise my clients of all options and details before they sign and execute any document. I take great pride in advising my clients to create and follow an estate plan, and to check up on it every few years, because, as I say, "You will either have an estate plan by default or by design, it's up to you."
A true reality is about 75% of children have NOT met their parents' advisors or attorneys, although this connection can really help ensure that your assets transfer successfully. Consider arranging a meeting with me soon so that we can take the necessary steps to secure your future, and provide you the PEACE OF MIND YOU DESERVE FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES.
In my practice, I understand the YOUR LEGACY IS PARAMOUNT. With my process, your heirs, extended family, and any other advisors you want to include can work together to explore and optimize your estate, financial, health, and retirement planning and the legal issues or concerns that may affect how well your legacy endures.
IN A TEAM ENVIRONMENT, I can work well with your tax professional, business advisor, real estate agent, insurance agent, and/or investment advisor to optimize your Estate and Financial/Retirement plan, and limit your tax exposure. With this holistic view of your estate, I have found that each professional lends their particular expertise and advice, resulting in a completely satisfied client.
I live in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho with my wife, Anycia. I have two adult children. In my free time, I like to travel, hike, bike, ski, and basically stay active. I like to read, I like country music, and I love sports, especially football (I played college football at Army). I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW I MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU & YOUR LOVED ONES THE PEACE OF MIND YOU DESERVE!
CALL ME, HAL PRUKOP, TO ARRANGE A SINCERE & CONFIDENTIAL CONSULTATION. THANK YOU.
