More Than an Estate Plan.
Your Life. Your Story. Your Family. Your Plan.
How Estate Planners for Life™ is Different
A Different Way to Think About Estate Planning
Cain, Cain & Janik are Estate Planners for Life™—your trusted guides on the road to protecting what matters most. We offer more than documents; we create a clear, lasting plan that evolves as life takes its turns. With decades of combined legal experience and thousands of estate plans prepared, our team provides steady direction at every milestone. In 2009, Marty and Tamara Cain recognized that estate planning isn’t a one-time stop, but a lifelong journey. That insight led them to help develop a dynamic planning approach through the National Network of Estate Planning Attorneys—ensuring your plan stays on course as life changes, guiding you and your family forward with confidence at every step.
A Process Built on Education & Partnership
At Cain, Cain & Janik, client service is the foundation of what it means to be an Estate Planners for Life™ member. We don’t just help you start the journey—we walk beside you, allowing you to navigate each milestone and pause at the right checkpoints along the way. Our team is friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to, so you always feel comfortable asking questions and recalibrating your plan as life changes. You’ll work with a dedicated team, not just an attorney, ensuring responsive support and clear guidance at every stage of life, so your plan stays aligned, on course, and ready for whatever lies ahead.
The Estate Plan for Life Grows With You & Your Family
Estate planning doesn’t end when the paperwork is signed, just like a reliable car needs regular maintenance to stay road-ready. As Estate Planners for Life™, Cain, Cain & Janik provide an ongoing maintenance program with scheduled check-ins that act as routine tune-ups for your plan, addressing changes in your life and updates in the law. Through personalized counseling, ongoing education, proper asset funding, and consistent plan maintenance, we help keep everything aligned and running smoothly—so when life takes an unexpected turn, your plan performs precisely as it should.
A clear plan matters, but so does having the right guide. We walk with you from the start, helping you chart the course,
offering options, and making adjustments along the way as life and the law evolve.
Our Services
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives are essential estate planning tools—but they are not the goal. The goal is the results, an estate plan that works quietly in the background and is ready when needed, but adaptable as life changes.
That is why our Estate Planners for Life™ approach focuses first on understanding your family and financial situation, then on counseling you regarding your options so that a great plan is designed for you and your family.
As part of our plans, some of the services we provide, depending on what we learn about your circumstances, are Revocable Living Trust, Wills, Power of Attorney, Healthcare Directive, Charitable Giving Structures, Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust, Spousal Lifetime Access Trust, Asset Protection Trusts, Business Succession Plan, Family Governance Documents, Long-Term Care Planning, and more.
Estate Planning Is a Process, Not a One-Time Event. We will conduct regular plan reviews to make adjustments for tax law changes, asset growth, and family changes, ensuring the plan works as intended when your family needs you most.

You’re not alone—nearly two-thirds of Americans don’t even have a basic will. The best place to start is with education. At Cain, Cain & Janik, we believe informed decisions lead to better outcomes. Once you understand the common planning options—such as will-based and trust-based plans—you can choose the approach that best protects your family and assets. We begin with a right-fit call or an invitation to attend our educational workshop.
-
Unfortunately, many do not. Estate plans often fail due to lack of proper counseling, incomplete asset funding, outdated documents, or lack of ongoing maintenance. A successful plan requires personalized legal guidance, intentional asset organization, regular updates as laws and life change, and education for your family so they understand their roles and responsibilities.
-
Trust funding means ensuring your assets are properly titled so your trust controls them. This may include retitling bank accounts, updating real estate deeds, and reviewing beneficiary designations. Without proper funding, even a well-drafted trust may not work as intended.
-
Your plan should be reviewed regularly and whenever major life events occur—such as marriage, divorce, birth of a child, retirement, or changes in the law. Our ongoing maintenance program helps ensure your plan stays current and effective.
