Hi There! I’m Jessica.
I am an Ottawa-based estate planning lawyer driven by my desire to make my passions my life’s work. I am a proud Franco-Ontarian and North Bay native who loves a good coffee, cooking with local ingredients, traveling with family and listening to podcasts. My boutique law firm is committed to community, family and small businesses. I have a passion for process, organization, and everything local!
It all started when…
At first, the creation of the All In Order™ Legacy Box was a question of pure organization. I wanted to make sure that my clients had a place to store and organize their documents after they finished their estate planning process with me. I also wanted to simplify the process for the executor (s) named in their will by removing the burden of searching for documents. It was that simple!
And then, it became much more than that.
I started to think about what people would really like to pass on to their loved ones if something happened to them - because in my opinion, "leaving a legacy" goes far beyond accumulated wealth.
I wanted people to have the opportunity to leave something behind that was more representative of who they are and how they would like to be remembered. I realized that the desire to pass on experiences, thoughts, letters, prayers, quotes, favorite passages, a list of favorite books or articles, family recipes, journals, music, life lessons, etc. was a common wish among clients.
This is where the idea to create something beautiful AND useful, touching and unique in its simplicity and practicality came from.
