How to use them

A checklist is a starting point.

Work through the list a few days before your meeting, then mark the two or three items that matter most to your family right now.

If the answers raise more questions than they settle, that is exactly what a consultation is for. Bring your notes and we'll sort out priorities together.

Start with a conversation
