Strategic Trust and Estate Planning for Founders, Business Owners, and Real Estate Investors

Cardon Law helps founders, business owners, real estate investors, surviving spouses, and trustees create and administer plans for significant assets, business interests, and complex family circumstances — protecting assets, preserving control, and keeping the grantor’s intent clear as life changes.

Planning Doesn't End When the Trust Is Signed

A trust is not just a document. For families and business owners with significant assets, real estate, professional liability, or complex family circumstances, the trust has to be funded, maintained, understood, and administered correctly as life changes.

At Cardon Law, Jeff helps clients think beyond document creation — including how the plan will work during life, after the death of a spouse, when a trustee steps in, or when business, family, or asset circumstances change.

Trusts & Estate Planning

Create a plan for significant assets, family wealth, real estate, and long-term control.

Trust Administration

Guidance for surviving spouses and trustees when a significant estate needs to be administered correctly.

Asset Protection

Structure ownership and planning to reduce exposure and protect what you have built.

Business & Succession Planning

Coordinate business interests, estate planning, succession, and asset protection so the pieces work together.

Planning for the Full Picture: Wealth, Business, Family, and Legacy

For Founders and Business Owners

When your business is one of your largest assets, estate planning, succession, ownership structure, and asset protection need to work together.

For Real Estate Investors

Real estate holdings often require coordinated planning around ownership, liability exposure, trusts, business entities, and long-term wealth transfer.

For Surviving Spouses and Trustees

When a spouse or grantor passes away, trusts often require funding, administration, consolidation, subtrust creation, and ongoing guidance.

Why Clients Choose Cardon Law

Clients choose Cardon Law when they need more than basic documents. Jeff helps them think through control, protection, administration, and how the plan will actually work over time.

Jeffrey is a true professional. He is thorough, efficient, and fair. He was able to work with a rushed timeline to accomplish processes that I had expected would take much longer.

Cardon Law has done such a top rate job for helping start up my non-profit business. Details like by -laws for the board went so smoothly and when it came time for non-profit status with the IRS, their first application was so complete, we received full status within a short time… which is unheard of!! I would highly recommend their friendly and fully qualified staff to handle any business law needs you might have. I couldn’t be more pleased!

After a couple of meetings, Jeff provided a very professionally put together trust for us which included everything we had discussed. Throughout the process, he spoke to us in terms we could understand as he explained the legal jargon and all we were doing. We felt very confident with his legal expertise and we are grateful we turned to him for help. Jeff is kind, patient, and trustworthy. Again, his way of explaining things was really next level.

When my father’s health started to decline and we needed help putting together my parent’s will and trust we turned to Jeff for help from a referral of a dear friend. He was amazing to work with and took the time to explain all the details we needed to get everything done to put our minds at ease. He went above and beyond what we expected and appreciated his time and attention to detail.

Jeff was amazing to work with. He helped us create a contract for the sale of our family business of 21 years. With his help, everything went smoothly and we knew we could rely on him to help us with this endeavor. He was great to work with and was able to accommodate a rather rushed timeline. We are grateful for his professionalism and expertise on our behalf.
