Blyss Cruz

Blyss Cruz is a dedicated estate planning attorney who helps families protect their futures and secure their loved ones’ well-being. With a career shaped by decades of financial and legal experience, she focuses on guiding clients through essential planning so families can avoid collapse during times of incapacity or loss.

Blyss earned her MBA while working in the banking industry at Northrim Bank, managing troubled loans and foreclosed properties. Pursuing her lifelong goal of becoming an attorney, she later completed her Juris Doctor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, graduating cum laude and strengthening her foundation for estate planning.

Blyss began her legal career as a law clerk for the Anchorage Superior Court, working first with the Honorable Kevin M. Saxby and later with the Honorable Thomas A. Matthews. This experience confirmed her desire to help families through planning rather than conflict-driven litigation. With her combined background in finance, public service, and law, she brings a broad perspective to estate planning, business ownership considerations, and strategies for wealth preservation.

Blyss understands firsthand the importance of proper planning. After experiencing the challenges her family faced when her father passed away without essential directives, she dedicated herself to helping others avoid similar struggles. She integrates her financial expertise, public service experience, and personal perspective into her work, creating thoughtful and effective plans tailored to her clients’ unique needs.

Blyss Cruz continues to focus on values-based estate planning, supporting families and business owners in achieving peace of mind. Her mission is to provide guidance that not only addresses immediate concerns but also ensures long-term protection, helping clients preserve both their assets and their legacies for the future.
