The paperwork looks daunting but Robert assures me that digging deep into my financial profile isn't the aim, it's really a simple gathering of assets to figure out what my plans are if I become incapacitated in any way. I love that Robert was attentive, and especially when I told him that my 3 cats' lives were important to me should I be unable to care for them. I look forward to working with Robert to secure my assets and the care of my 3 cats should I be unable to do so.

We started our research into setting up a Revocable Living Trust to protect our family's privacy…read moreand assets a few years ago. At the time we came across YouTube videos of Edmund explaining the benefits of a trust in simple terms that we were able to understand. For our family the most important aspect of building a trust is finding a law firm that aligns with our values. A law firm filled with individuals who we feel we can build a life-long relationship with. We finally committed to creating our Revocable Living Trust after battling some serious health issues. Quickly we realized that we were not looking for a law firm but rather a family. When I am gone I want my spouse and children to feel confident and comfortable knowing that the Tree of Life Law Firm will be there for them in their time of need. This gives me peace of mind. Building a Trust is not only about protecting your family's assets and privacy. Edmund taught us to view it as building a Legacy for your family that will last long after you are out of the picture. The Tree of Life Law Firm has our highest recommendation and we could not have found a better family to be a part of.

Within 24 hours, a call was scheduled with Zakiya and after our telephone consultation, I knew, unequivocally, that my decision to move ahead with Zakiya was a solid one. Zakiya did not disappoint. She was consistently available to listen, explain and yes, explain again and when I could not get consistent and accurate language regarding the donation of my body for research, Zakiya stepped in, placed the call and "Voila !" Resolution!. Bottom line, I had delayed updating my trust as I deemed it a potentially overwhelming task. Under Zakiya's tutelage it was not that at all and importantly, I now have a document that accurately reflects my latest desires and a reassurance that it would never again sit accumulating dust as she'd be in touch periodically to check that the document was still in line with my wishes. I am grateful for the referral and absolutely grateful for the kindness and expert guidance I received. Without doubt, I recommend Zakiya and her firm to anyone who knows it's time to either initiate or update your estate plan.
