Linda and her team were great to work with when we decided to update our estate documents and set up a trust. She took the time to thoroughly understand our needs and wishes, then reviewed our options. Her staff was very patient in helping us get everything organized to complete the process. Everything was completed within a couple of months and now we have peace of mind for a lifetime.
For years I wanted to prepare a will. For some reason I was scared to death. maybe it was fear I would die before the Living Will got signed. I liked that I was able to call and speak to someone on the phone. She answered a lot of my questions. When I meet with Linda and her staff they made me feel very much at ease. Giving me lots of information and facts about the law that I had no idea. I feel so much better that my wishes are in a Will. Thanks again to Linda and her staff.
Linda and her staff made the process of drafting a will so easy. She helped guide us through our goals and wishes as a young family to ensure our children would be taken care of and our assets would flow smoothly in the event of a death. It's not the most pleasant subject matter to tackle, and I think most people avoid it out of fear. I cannot recommend them enough. We were able to get a will, trust, power of attorneys, living will...etc all as a flat rate package. No hidden fees, no run-around. Just straight forward, professional guidance. It feels good to have that squared away for our family.
