About Michelle Bell
Hi there. I’m Michelle Bell and I became a Personal Family Lawyer because of my personal experience of having my mother pass away when I was 15 years old. Not only did I experience grief at an unspeakable level but I was forced to go through the intense and very stressful court process called probate for the next 3 years until I was 18 years old. Because of my first-hand experience with grief and probate, I’ve designed my practice around educating families on the effects of an unexpected event and it’s impact on a minor child in hopes of preventing others from experiencing the pitfalls of naming minors as beneficiaries, not properly protecting their legacy and saving their family from conflict and court. That’s why I focus on Family Protection and Wealth Preservation whether you are married, divorced or single, a traditional family or a blended one. I’m here to help you craft a plan unique to your wants and needs for your family, now and for the future. You and your family are unique, therefore your plan should be unique as well. I absolutely enjoy educating my community on how to protect their family wealth and legacy. I host free monthly webinars, in-person workshops, and give presentations for government and private groups on a variety of family wealth planning topics. I try to give everyone that meets me a positive experience that is memorable and a representation of how I would want someone to treat my husband, Derek, and my three children, Sianne, Collin and Caiden. Feel free to contact me and schedule a 1 on 1 consultation. Here’s to a life and legacy beyond you. Michelle Bell.
The Personal Family Lawyer Promise
What makes PFL lawyers different?
How you hire us.
We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
How we plan.
We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
What we protect.
Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
What you see.
Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
How we deliver.
Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
How our plans work.
One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
