Our Story

Hello!  My name is Erin Southwell.  My husband and I are parents, foster parents and advocates for families and children.  I started Southwell Estate Planning to be a unique "mom to mom" niche in the world of estate planning; to use my expertise as an attorney to help other parents ensure that their children will be taken care of and financially provided for in the event of unforeseen tragedy.  My husband and best friend works alongside me as Firm Manager. If I could, I would invite you into my home (we have renovated an historic home on a lovely little hobby farm) and pour you a cup of coffee and walk you through the default estate and custody plan that the state of Indiana already has in place for those who pass away without a will, and then help you come up with an alternative plan that is straightforward, wise, and leaves you with peace of mind.  In today's busy world, I'm settling for zoom-based, one-on-one meetings; but don't worry, I will still be meeting with you from my home and I always have the coffee going.  I look forward to hearing about your family (I love meeting new people) and possibly designing a custom plan to protect and provide for those you love most.  As a mom, I know there are few things more valuable than peace of mind, which is why I am delighted to offer a simple Peace of Mind Planning Session to start the conversation between us.
