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

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.

After returning to Ohio, I needed my previous out-of-state estate plan reviewed and updated. Ben Turshen of Solace reviewed my plan and proposed various options for my will, estate, and power of attorney documents. He recommended strategies for asset protection, and worked with me to ensure that my estate was tailored to my needs. I highly recommend Ben for your estate planning needs.Posted on Google![]()

It's funny how a health crisis can feel like God's little way of kicking us in the butt to get things done! We had put off Estate Planning for months (OK Years), but suddenly it became vitally important. My partner did alot of research. There was one person that he talked to who left a deep impression. That gentleman was Benjamin Turshen. He explained that Estate Planning was like building a house. You need a blueprint to map out your vision of what security means to you You also need a strong foundation. This means WIlls, protection from probate , powers of attorneys ,and Healthcare directives. You also need a roof -- a strong roof for protection from outside forces. I've learned that there are ALOT of factors that could be a threat to your security. This is not a DIY project! You really do need a GOOD builder! I am so grateful that we found Benjamin! I've worked my entire life. I finally have something to leave my daughter. Benjamin made Our vision His mission! The roof on this house is strong. I feel secure and grateful. Thank you, Ben. YOU DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB!Posted on Google![]()

Very pleasant experience. We came here with a fairly complicated situation and Benjamin handled everything with ease. He opened our eyes to what could happen if we weren't legally protected, and he covered every base from probate to long-term care.Posted on Google![]()

I first met Benjamin on the seminar he conducted. I was immediately impressed by his level of expertise and overall presentation. We decided to schedule private consultation to discuss our situation. First of all we wanted to avoid probate and make it as easy as possible for our children and grandchildren. I also liked the idea of preserving our legacy. During initial consultation Benjamin explained our options and advise on the best course of actions. We were very impressed with the professionalism and efficiency. He reviewed our documentation and created a trust documentation. We feel that we made a very good decision!Posted on Google![]()

We were looking for an estate planner to help us with the preparation of a will and trust, and Solace came highly recommended from a friend. We knew very little about what was involved and Ben patiently walked us through each step, explaining expectations and ourcomes. He did a wonderful job of providing scenarios and examples of what may happen, including personal experiences. The entire experience was very friendly and thoughtful, overall a wonderful experience. We highly recommend Solace!Posted on Google![]()
