I am a repeat customer of Takacs McGinnis Elder Care Law. My brother, a college professor, had planned well and retired at age 55. He moved to Tennessee to be close to family and was planning on working with Takacs McGinnis to draft his will after he checked a few other items off his to-do list. He died suddenly while mowing his lawn in Tennessee’s oppressive summer heat. He died without a will. I went back to Takacs McGinnis. Barbara McGinnis helped me to get appointed as the administrator of my brother’s estate. The firm provided my sister and me with a workbook and suggestions on how to go through my brother’s belongings to make sure there wasn’t a will in place, and to determine the size of his estate. With their help, I went to court and was easily appointed as administrator of his estate. I was so overcome with grief that I needed to work with a firm that was compassionate and that knew exactly what to do to guide me through the process. I’m so grateful for their support.
