What inspires someone to dedicate their career to guiding families through some of life’s most personal legal moments? In this heart-centered conversation, attorney Heather Chubb introduces Tony Franceschi, the newest associate at Chubb Law Firm. Together, they explore Tony’s path to estate planning, his passion for serving families, and what it’s like to work with him.

Why Estate Planning?
Heather Chubb: “Let’s start from the beginning—what brought you to estate planning?”

Tony Franceschi: “I’ve always been drawn to areas of law where I could really help people in a meaningful way. Estate planning stood out because it allows me to support families in a proactive and personal way—helping them protect what matters most and prepare for life’s transitions.”

What Drew You to Chubb Law Firm?
Heather: “You’re now a part of a team that’s all about heart-led planning. What stood out to you about our approach?”

Tony: “The level of care. From the very beginning, I saw how deeply this firm values each client relationship. It’s not about pushing paperwork—it’s about listening, understanding, and guiding people with compassion and clarity. That’s the kind of environment I always wanted to be a part of.”

What’s It Like to Work with You?
Heather: “If someone’s considering starting their plan, what can they expect when they sit down with you?”

Tony: “I aim to make the process as approachable as possible. I take time to listen, answer every question, and ensure that clients never feel rushed or confused. Estate planning can feel overwhelming at first, but my job is to make it feel clear and doable—and even empowering.”

Planning with Purpose
Heather: “Why do you think planning ahead is so important?”

Tony: “It gives families peace of mind. When people have a plan in place, they’re not just protecting assets—they’re protecting each other. I see it as a gift clients leave for their loved ones, one that saves them stress and uncertainty during already difficult times.”

It’s About People, Not Just Paperwork
Heather: “What’s something you wish more people understood about estate planning?”

Tony: “That it’s for everyone. Whether you’re just starting a family, thinking about retirement, or navigating a major life change, estate planning helps you make thoughtful decisions ahead of time. And it’s not about how much you have—it’s about who you love and how you want to care for them.”

Final Thoughts
Heather: “Tony, we’re so excited to have you on the team. Any final thoughts you’d like to share with those watching?”

Tony: “Just that if you’ve been putting this off, now’s a great time to begin. We’ll walk you through it step by step. You don’t have to do it alone—and once it’s done, you’ll feel such a sense of relief.”
