Virtual Estate Planning Services
At Dooley Estate Law PLLC, we provide virtual estate planning services for individuals and families in California, Washington, D.C., Texas, and Pennsylvania. Through our Life & Legacy Planning® process, we help you prepare wills, trusts, and complete estate plans that reflect your goals and protect the people you love. Whether you are starting a family, building wealth, or preparing for retirement, we make it simple and affordable to put a plan in place that keeps your family out of court and out of conflict.
I’m here to help your family stay out of court and conflict in the event of your death or disability. Welcome.
I’m Clare Dooley, your neighborhood Personal Family Lawyer®, and I’m here to support you with a counseling methodology for making decisions about your estate planning that ensures you’ll have a plan that works. After all, if your plan doesn’t work when your family needs it, what’s the point of planning?
Together, we’ll look at the dynamics of your situation, inventory your assets (and even possibly help you see you have more than you think you do), and counsel you to choose the right plan for you and the people you love. All of our plans are tailored to your unique circumstances and your budget.

A Practical Approach for Busy Lives
We understand that estate planning often falls to the bottom of your to-do list. You may be raising children, managing a business, or caring for aging parents. Delaying a plan can leave your family facing probate delays, unexpected taxes, or disagreements about your wishes.
Our process is designed to fit into your life. We provide structured meetings, clear action steps, and responsive communication so you can complete your estate plan without unnecessary stress. From your first consultation to final document signing, we focus on efficiency, clarity, and long-term protection.
When life changes, we remain available to update your plan so it continues to reflect your goals.
