Reviews
I came to Emily looking to create a living will. As a business owner, I know the value of having everything prepared in advance. Emily answered all of my questions, was very nurturing and caring when speaking about sensitive information - it is never easy to speak of and plan for one's own death. Emily made the process pain free and simple. I highly recommend Emily for your estate planning needs!
Emily's expertise in estate planning is remarkable. My situation in writing a will required special consideration as we included a testamentary trust for handling some funds in a very particular manner. Emily handled this project in a thoroughly professional manner. I would confidently rely on her expertise if I needed similar work done in the future.
Emily prepared my will and associated papers quickly and efficiently. She also helped me with an association situation, regarding filing for a nonprofit corporation status with the State of Colorado. I had research much info, but needed guidance before completing the transaction. She was very helpful and cost-effective.
During the course of selling my dad's house we found there were problems with my mom's estate which could delay the sell. Emily was very quick and helpful in getting the issues resolved in a very timely manner. She did an excellent job.
