What systemic gaps prevent proper estate planning in African American communities? How can families better safeguard assets and ancestral lands? Attorney Crystal Richardson spotlights these topics and brings inclusive guidance to the forefront. 

Crystal Richardson is available as an expert on these questions. She talks with families about:

  • Barriers preventing estate planning in African American communities

  • Strategies to protect assets and establish trusts

  • Honoring legacies through values-based distribution

  • Safeguarding heirs' property and ancestral land

  • Her career advocating for overlooked communities

  • Assets distributed unintentionally through intestacy

  • Family disputes turning contentious without clear documentation

  • Probate delays locking heirs out of rightful inheritances

  • As land values rapidly appreciate, predatory investors sway unsupported heirs to relinquish family lands jeopardizing their inheritances.

Crystal Richardson is not your typical attorney. As one of few African American female lawyers specializing in estate planning/administration, Crystal has dedicated her career to serving overlooked communities. 

“Having witnessed families lose assets without proper documentation firsthand, Crystal aims to expand access to services that protect inheritances and honor legacies. Now, this North Carolina powerhouse is taking an impassioned stand to restart planning conversations in underserved communities of color.” Heather Bucciano of Geek Haus Group.
