The People Behind L & M Estate Services

L & M Estate Services was founded by Justin Mays and Henry Lancaster—two experienced estate professionals with a shared commitment to quality, discretion, and hands-on care.

With decades of combined experience in managing historic, rural, and high-value properties across Virginia and New Jersey, we know that great estate care means more than just maintenance. It means trust. It means noticing what others miss.
