Hi, I'm Kelly Rose. 

I've been practicing estate planning law for over 16 years, and in that time, I've helped hundreds of families create plans that actually work, not just on paper, but in real life.
I know what happens when estate planning is done right. And I know what happens when it's done wrong.

I've seen families come together with clarity and relief. And I've watched families torn apart by unclear wishes, unspoken expectations, and old wounds that never got a chance to heal.

Here's what I learned the hard way: handing someone a clean set of legal documents only gets them halfway there.

Estate planning isn't just about wills and trusts. It's about protecting the people you love. It's about preventing conflict. It's about making sure your family isn't left scrambling, confused, or fighting during the hardest time of their lives.

That's why I take a different approach. I combine my legal expertise with my training as a family mediator and certified death doula to offer something more holistic, something that addresses not just the paperwork, but the emotional, spiritual, and relational dimensions of preparing for death.

Because when you do this work well, it changes everything. You live with more peace. You heal old wounds. You have the conversations that need to happen. And your family is held, not burdened, when the time comes.

Estate planning done right addresses five essential areas:

1. The practical and legal (documents, assets, trustees, executors);
2. The emotional and relational (healing wounds, having difficult conversations, forgiveness);
3. The spiritual and ceremonial (honoring your beliefs about death and what comes after);
4. Your legacy (what you want to leave behind in values, wisdom, and love—not just assets);
5. The physical and environmental (how you want your deathbed and after-death experience to unfold).

When all five areas are addressed, you don't just have an estate plan. You have peace of mind, relational healing, and a legacy of love.

That's what I help people create.

I live in Colorado with my husband, Michael, our 22-year-old son, Aidan, and our beloved rescue cat, Luna. I find joy in playing games with family and friends, seeking out the perfect hot spring, sailing, hiking in the mountains, and disco dancing!

These are the things that keep me grounded, present, and connected to the beauty of being alive. They remind me why this work matters: life is precious, and the time we have together is a gift.
