Estate planning has been our focus for decades
Our legal history in Yuma dates to 1978. Since 1991, our practice has focused exclusively on Estate Planning—helping families make thoughtful decisions, put those decisions into place, and have experienced support when the plan needs to work.

A legal practice shaped by Estate Planning
Larry Deason began practicing law in 1978, serving clients across a variety of legal matters. In 1991, he made the decision to focus his practice exclusively on Estate Planning. That decision established the foundation for the work our firm continues today.
Over the years, the firm name has changed as attorneys joined, retired, and the next generation of leadership took responsibility for the practice. Today, Shawn Garner and Thomas S. Sparks continue that work with a team focused on helping families create plans that reflect their lives and remain useful as circumstances change.
While our name has changed, the purpose behind the work has not.
Experience matters most when it is put to work for your family
Our history is important, but the value of that history is what it allows us to provide today: focused knowledge, practical education, and continuity when families need help.
Focused practice
Estate Planning has been the firm’s exclusive legal focus since 1991. That concentration shapes the questions we ask, the plans we build, and the support we provide later.
Local roots, broad reach
We live and work in Yuma and understand the community well. At the same time, we regularly work with families who spend part of the year here or own property and maintain relationships in other states.
Continuity over time
Our relationship does not end when documents are signed. We help clients keep plans current and provide a familiar place for the people responsible for carrying out those plans later.
Local relationships with families from across the country
Yuma is home. Our attorneys and team live and work here, and we have served generations of families in this community.
Yuma is also a place where people come from across the country to spend part of the year. That means many of the families we work with have homes, assets, family members, or planning considerations in more than one state.
We bring the same relationship-first approach to every family—whether they have lived in Yuma for generations or spend only part of the year here.
