image A Counselling Process That
Embraces a "Team-Approach"



When it comes to estate planning, attorneys in America generally take one of three approaches: "to, for, or with" their clients. Some attorneys do estate planning to clients ("One-size fits all."). Better attorneys do estate planning for clients ("There are options, but I'll tell you which one to choose."). We believe the best attorneys are counsellors who do estate planning with their clients ("You teach me about your family and your goals, I'll teach you about the law, and together we'll create an estate plan that works for you.")

Brown & Vogel, Chartered is dedicated to counselling-oriented estate planning with their clients and their clients' other professional advisors (insurance agents, CPAs, financial advisors, and other attorneys). Our founder and President, Steven W. Brown, is licensed to practice law in Kansas. He is a member of the WealthCounsel, LLC, a national group of more than 1,000 attorneys that emphasize counselling in the transfer of wealth within a family. He is a charter member of LifeSpan Legal Services™, a national organization of attorneys dedicated to co-creating "plans that work" with clients.

Our goal is to provide you with the highest level of legal counselling, services and support when we help you to design, create and maintain your customized estate plan. To do so, we have helped to create the LifeSpan Legal Services™, a comprehensive planning process designed to empower by engaging in a controlled estate planning process with predictable, positive results.

Under your direction, and with your approval, we will design your plan so that it: (a) allows you to stay in control of your own affairs for as long as possible: (b) takes care of you and your loved ones if you become disabled; (c) distributes what you have to whom you want, when you want, the way you want; and (d) assures that your wisdom is transferred along with your wealth.

  • DEVELOP Your Plan with Counselling Oriented Planning Partners;
  • COMMIT Yourself and Your Family to a Continuing Maintenance and Education Program; and
  • SECURE Appropriate Assistance for You and Your Family to Transfer Your Wisdom along With Your Wealth.

We work with caring and committed families and their trusted advisors to discover, clarify, promote and protect their values and valuables through our unique LifeSpan Planning Process™.

We call it LifeSpan™ because we counsel together continuously over the rest of the time we are given to assure that their wisdom is transferred along with their wealth.
