Bespoke Estate Planning Solutions

Welcome to Solace Estate Planning

Bespoke protection. Lasting control. Peace of mind.

Planning for the future can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to do it alone.

At Solace Estate Planning, we help families and individuals create customized legal plans that bring clarity, security, and peace of mind.

Whether you’re focused on avoiding probate — the public court process that can take months or even years, add significant cost, delay access to assets, and make private family matters public — protecting what you’ve built from lawsuits and creditors, planning for long-term care, or preserving your family’s inheritance, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Does This Sound Familiar?

“Where do I even start?”
Estate planning feels overwhelming — and it’s hard to know who to trust.

“Could a lawsuit, medical bill, or unexpected event put everything I’ve built at risk?”
You’ve spent years growing your home, savings, and business — and you want to make sure it’s all protected, no matter what life brings.

“What will happen to my kids if something happens to me?”
You want to be certain they’re cared for and protected, no matter what.

“Will nursing home costs take away everything I’ve saved?”
You’ve worked hard to build what you have, and you’re worried it could disappear.

“How can I keep my family from fighting if I’m gone or can’t make decisions for myself?”
You’ve seen how confusion and lack of clear instructions can create conflict — and you want to keep your loved ones united.

At Solace Estate Planning, we meet you where you are — no shame, no pressure. Just clear guidance, practical solutions, and a plan that brings you — and your loved ones — peace of mind. 

When you’re ready, we’re here to help you take the first step.

The Story Behind Solace

Our founder, Ben Turshen, began his career at a large law firm in New York City, where he gained deep experience in complex legal matters. But after he and his wife each faced separate near-death experiences, mere weeks apart, Ben saw estate planning in a new light — not simply as documents, but as a way to bring comfort, control, and confidence to people when they need it most.

Today, Ben brings his big-firm expertise and personal perspective to families and business owners in Shaker Heights, Ohio, and throughout Ohio and New York. He helps clients navigate every aspect of estate planning — from Wills and Trusts to Medicaid and Long-Term-Care Planning, Elder Law, and Asset Protection. Ben’s approach is calm and practical, making even the most difficult legal decisions clear and manageable.

How We Help

Estate Planning & Probate Avoidance

Protect What You’ve Built — and Who You Love

Estate Planning & Probate Avoidance

Many people assume a Will keeps their family out of court — but in Ohio and New York, a Will alone actually guarantees probate. That process can bring delays, disputes, added costs, and loss of privacy when your loved ones are already grieving. We help you plan ahead with Wills and Trusts and other modern strategies to keep your estate out of probate and ensure your legacy passes smoothly, privately, and on your terms — giving you and your family lasting clarity and peace of mind.

Asset Protection

Safeguard Your Wealth From Life’s Risks

Asset Protection

Many families don’t realize how vulnerable their assets can be to lawsuits, creditors, or unexpected events. Without planning, a single claim or crisis can put savings, property, or a family business at risk. We use advanced Asset Protection strategies — including specialized Trusts and risk-management planning — to help shield what you’ve built, reduce exposure to future threats, and preserve your wealth for the people and causes that matter most.

Long-Term Care & Elder Law

Plan for Care Without Losing Everything

Long-Term Care & Elder Law

The rising cost of long-term care can drain a lifetime of savings and force families to sell or spend down assets to qualify for help. By planning early, you can avoid unnecessary financial loss and still receive the care you need. Our Long-Term-Care Planning and Elder Law strategies help protect your home and savings, qualify you for available benefits, and bring peace of mind knowing you or a loved one can age with dignity and security.

  • Elder Law guidance to navigate legal and financial challenges as you age
