Arch Legacy: Personalized Estate Planning for Families and Business Owners

Arch Legacy, a boutique law firm specializing in estate planning, probate, and business planning, is transforming how individuals and business owners prepare for the future. Founded by sisters who personally experienced the challenges of navigating probate, Arch Legacy offers a unique and compassionate approach to legal services. By prioritizing client relationships and practical solutions, the firm is redefining the traditional estate planning process to better serve families and professionals.

The firm’s inception was inspired by a deeply personal experience that highlighted the critical need for proper legal planning. Trish Butcher, Owner and Attorney at Arch Legacy, recalls how her grandmother—a successful real estate investor and professor—left promises that could not be upheld due to poor legal advice. “My family spent four painful years in probate, losing significant time and money,” Butcher says. “We saw firsthand how devastating poor estate planning can be, and we were determined to create an alternative for families like ours.”

Arch Legacy takes a client-focused approach that sets it apart from conventional law firms. With a team composed primarily of mothers (and one dad), the firm fosters a personal and welcoming environment where clients feel understood and supported. This modern take on legal services moves away from the stereotypical “stuffy” attorney experience, offering customized, approachable solutions for estate and business planning.

For families, estate planning can be an emotionally complex process. Arch Legacy simplifies this by focusing on clear communication and education. Whether drafting wills, creating trusts, or guiding clients through probate, the firm works to ensure that clients understand their options and make informed decisions. By focusing on long-term relationships, Arch Legacy supports families through life’s transitions, protecting what matters most—now and for generations to come.

Estate planning for business owners is another key focus for Arch Legacy. Many entrepreneurs overlook the importance of planning for what happens to their business in the event of death or disability. Without a clear plan, businesses can face financial uncertainty, ownership disputes, or even closure. Arch Legacy helps business owners implement legal strategies to protect their operations, secure succession plans, and ensure financial stability for their families.

Trish Butcher emphasizes the unique needs of business owners when it comes to estate planning. “For entrepreneurs, their business is often their most valuable asset. A well-crafted estate plan not only safeguards that asset but also provides clarity and continuity for their loved ones.” By addressing issues such as succession, ownership transfers, and liability protection, Arch Legacy empowers business professionals to plan proactively.

In addition to estate planning, the firm provides stress-free probate services. Probate—the legal process of settling an estate—can be time-consuming, costly, and emotionally draining for families. Arch Legacy works to streamline this process, minimizing delays and reducing the burden on loved ones. With compassionate guidance, the firm helps families navigate probate while preserving the estate’s value and honoring the wishes of the deceased.

Arch Legacy’s success is reflected in its rapid growth and strong reputation within the community. In under five years, the firm has served over 600 clients and earned more than 125 five-star reviews on Google. Its recognition as a two-time Business of the Quarter by the Oconee Chamber of Commerce highlights the firm’s dedication to excellence and client satisfaction. These achievements demonstrate the trust that families and professionals place in Arch Legacy for their estate and business planning needs.

Clients often praise the firm for its personalized approach and genuine care. By prioritizing relationships over transactions, Arch Legacy ensures that every client feels supported throughout the planning process. From initial consultations to ongoing guidance, the firm remains a trusted partner for families and business owners at every stage of life.

Unlike many law firms, Arch Legacy stands out for its ability to connect with clients on a personal level. This approach is rooted in the team’s shared commitment to family values and practical solutions. “We know firsthand how difficult it can be to lose a loved one and navigate legal challenges,” Butcher says. “That’s why we work so hard to provide clear, compassionate support to our clients. They’re not just our clients—they’re families we’re protecting.”

For business owners, the importance of estate planning cannot be overstated. A lack of planning can lead to unnecessary legal battles, financial losses, and uncertainty for surviving family members. Arch Legacy helps business owners address these risks by creating tailored plans that provide clarity and security for the future. By taking proactive steps, entrepreneurs can protect their businesses, their families, and their legacy.

Arch Legacy’s commitment to innovation and client care has earned it a loyal following and growing recognition in the legal community. As the firm continues to expand its reach, it remains focused on its mission: helping families and professionals protect their loved ones, businesses, and assets with confidence and peace of mind.

The firm’s website and social media platforms offer additional resources and insights for families and business owners seeking guidance on estate planning, probate, and business planning. Through these channels, Arch Legacy continues to educate the community on the importance of proactive legal planning.
