Vincent W.P. Prior

Vincent W. P. Prior is the founder of Prior Law, a mobile estate-planning and elder-law practice based in Waynesboro, Virginia and serving clients across the Shenandoah Valley. Vincent helps individuals, farming families, and small-business owners safeguard what matters most—homes, legacies, and loved ones—through thoughtful wills, trusts, and asset-protection strategies.

Vincent’s practice focuses on comprehensive estate planning, Medicaid planning, guardianship & conservatorship, asset protection, and residential real-estate matters. By meeting clients in their homes, hospitals, or online, he removes mobility and time barriers while delivering the clear, jargon-free counsel families need to make confident decisions. Whether drafting a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust, structuring a farm-succession plan, or guiding seniors through long-term-care options, his client-centered approach pairs modern convenience with traditional professionalism.

He is admitted to the Virginia State Bar and maintains active memberships in the American Bar Association, Virginia Bar Association, National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, and Virginia Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. The Supreme Court of Virginia appoints him as a Qualified Guardian ad Litem for Incapacitated Adults, a role that deepens his insight into the challenges aging or disabled Virginians face.

Vincent earned his J.D. from Washington & Lee University School of Law, where he served as a student attorney in the Community Legal Practice Center and researched blockchain and digital-property law. He holds a B.B.A. from SUNY Delhi, graduating with honors while tutoring peers in accounting and economics. A former volunteer firefighter, town councilman, and deputy town supervisor, he brings a public-service mindset to every engagement.
