Working with Sarah made our estate planning task easy and enjoyable; not an easy task! She was very professional and responsive, but it was her approachability and empathetic nature that made us comfortable enough to ask questions or discuss our concerns. The overall process was very efficient and went rather quickly. We would highly recommend Sarah!
Ms Nix was thorough and very helpful in updating our will and setting up our Trust. She answered all our questions and prepared the documents in a timely manner.
