The Whitmer Law Firm is based in Grand County, Colorado-home of Winter Park Resort and Rocky Mountain National Park in Grand County, Colorado. While based on the West Slope, we do work state-wide. Our practice focuses primarily on water, real estate and business law, but is not limited to these areas exclusively. Our lawyers also have significant experience in other diverse areas of civil practice.
Although officially founded in May of 2013, our firm has decades of experience in real estate because Managing Partner Kent Whitmer owned Grand County Title and Escrow Company, Inc. for over twenty-five years. The experience that comes from owning and operating a successful business and the intimate knowledge of the title industry gives our firm unique insight into real estate and business matters.
In addition, with the acquisition of retiring water attorney Stan Cazier's water practice, our firm is also prepared to handle your water needs. Combining this knowledge and experience with small-town service makes our firm special.

Most American adults do not have a will or living trust, according to a 2017 survey from Caring.com.
The survey cites two main reasons that people gave for not getting estate plans: (1) putting it off until later; and (2) lack of assets.
But should you have an estate plan?
The answer is simple - yes.
If you don't decide who gets your property after you die then each state decides for you.
State intestacy laws govern your assets if you failed to plan for your assets before your death.
Your heirs will still have to go through the intestate probate process if you do not have a will, trust or other means of transferring your property after you die.
