We meet you where you are and build a strategy that makes sense for your life.


We understand that no two families are alike. Whether you're trying to provide for a blended family, protect a family-owned business, or simply want peace of mind, we help design plans that reflect your priorities—not a one-size-fits-all template.


How to Know It’s Time to Plan

Wondering if now is the right time to speak with an estate planning attorney in Lutherville Timonium, MD? If you can answer “yes” to any of the following, it’s worth starting a conversation:


  1. Do you have children or dependents who rely on you?
  2. Do you own property, a business, or investments?
  3. Would you want to choose who manages your finances or health care if you become unable to do so?
  4. Do you want to help your family avoid court battles or delays after your passing?


If you answered “yes,” even just once, it may be time to consult with an estate planning attorney in Lutherville Timonium, MD who can help you create or update your plan.


The Value of a Personalized Plan

At Caruso & Zerwitz, we believe estate planning is about more than paperwork—it’s about peace of mind. That’s why we listen carefully, explain clearly, and help you make choices that reflect your values.
