Cheated out of $1000. I felt pressured in my initial meeting to get a trust. To get a will and…read moremedical directive was $2500, and to get a trust was an additional $1000. I did not think she would help me if I did not do the trust. I said yes. The very next day, in person I told the receptionist I did not want a trust. No trust was done. On signing day, after I signed the documents and felt safe asking, I asked for the refund of the $1000 for the trust that was not done. I asked again a couple of weeks later. Maybe I am old-fashioned but I could not keep money for something I did not do. Otherwise, I guess she did a good job with the other documents. Sorry Heather.
