Krystle and her son were absolutely amazing during this difficult time. They helped to explain the hard things to us, and made sure my dad understood too. Its sometimes difficult dealing with people whos health is declining, but Child's was patient, understanding and everything we needed during that time. She literally helped us to save our dad's legacy. Less than a year later, my sister passed as well, but i wanted to share what a great service we received from this notary. Thank you so much

Shop Around & Get Quotes for Better Pricing & Service I am…read morewriting this personal opinion review to encourage others to shop around before contracting with Jason Penrod and Family Elder Law (FEL) - scroll to the end of this review for a list of recommended attorneys offering the same service for less than half the price of FEL. In a nutshell, my family contacted FEL for a simple irrevocable trust (IT) for the benefit of our mother who has dementia. The trust was to be funded with just 3 assets: her mobile home, car, and CDs issued from the same bank. We were quoted a price of $8000 by Mr. Penrod. We were astonished by such a high price for such a simplistic IT. However, we agreed to the price, erroneously believing that the elevated pricing included management of the trust, which we later discovered it did not. I will only state that my sister and I were very busy and in such a hurry to get the IT drafted that we did not take the time to obtain quotes from other attorneys, and that was our foolish mistake. It was not until another attorney I know in Florida told me that we could have gotten the IT (with Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT) elements) for half of what we paid Family Elder Law that I took the time to actually contact other attorney offices and verified this as true. Based upon these findings, we asked Mr. Penrod for a $3000 partial refund. Our request was denied. As such, I want to educate others and give recommendations to the following reputable, reasonably priced firms operating in the same geographical area as FEL The below quotes are for the exact same service with the exact same assets for which Family Elder Law charged us $8000. Be advised that these attorney firms are not "elder law" specialists. However, to draft the simplistic templated IT/MAPT that we received - and wishing to fund it with only 3 noncomplicated assets - an elder law specialist is not required. An estate planning attorney, or even an attorney with trust drafting experience is equally as qualified, this opinion is based upon my being a retired California attorney. Here is my recommended list, although I encourage people to contact and request quotes from other law firms as well: Ables & Craig - Sebring, FL - 50 years' experience drafting trusts - $800 vs. $8000 MacBeth J Ross - Sebring, FL - 50 years' experience specializing in estate planning - $3000 vs. $8000 Peterman & Myers - Lakeland & Winterhaven - full-service law firm in business for 60 years that has an estate planning division - $3500 vs. $8000 If your needs are elder law specific, here is a list of just some of the other elder law specialists in Florida for you to contact and obtain a quote in order to make an informed decision: Family First Firm - Medicaid & Elder Law Attorneys - Winter Park, FL among other locations in FL Flammia Elder Law Firm - Winter Park, FL Waldoch & Mcconnaughhay - Tallahassee, FL (2018, 2020, & 2023 Elder Law Attorney of the Year) Hemness Faller Elder Law - Brandon, FL (2017 & 2021 Elder Law Attorney of the Year) Boyer & Boyer - Sarasota, FL (2024 Elder Law Attorney of the Year) Heuler, Wakeman, Solomon Law Group - Tallahassee, FL (2019 Elder Law Attorney of the Year) Britton G. Swank P.A. - Elder Law Atty - Ft. Meyers and Lehigh Acres, FL (2022 Elder Law Attorney of the Year) Selis Law Firm - multiple locations in Florida (2016 Elder Law Attorney of the Year) FEL did not live up to our expectations, and for that additional reason I do not recommend this firm. Please be advised that this review is solely and exclusively my personal opinion and impression of the experience that my family received using Mr. Penrod's and FEL's services - it is not intended to be libelous or defamatory, nor is it intended to cause reputational harm to Mr. Penrod or his firm. I simply want to encourage people to potentially save themselves thousands of dollars and receive good legal service by doing what we didn't do: get quotes from other attorneys and then decide who was the best fit for our needs.
