My wife and I both have experience as successor trustees managing Living Trusts for each of our deceased parents, at different times. Being familiar with the administration aspect, we understand the importance of having a thoughtful, well drafted trust document. Not all documents are created equal, I assure you. We have seen good, and we have seen not so desirable.
One of the principal reasons for creating and funding a Living Trust is so that we can pass our assets to our loved ones, without the need for expensive and time consuming probate. A well-crafted trust document will help ensure this goal is met.
With this in mind, we did some research and then called Michael W Brown, Atty for an appointment to meet and discuss his services. Michael met with us to determine our needs and answer any questions we had about the process, and was totally up front with his fees, which we consider reasonable and fair. After meeting with Michael, we decided to retain him to create our Living Trust and associated documents for us.
In hindsight, I can say that we made a great choice by choosing to work with Michael Brown. Based on our initial conversation, Michael prepared draft documents for us to review. We exchanged a few emails to answer some questions and make some changes. At one point, I had so many questions that in the interest of time I felt a face-to-face meeting would be more beneficial for us. We received a quick appointment with Michael and spent some time with him reviewing our many questions and considerations. We never felt rushed, and Michael answered every question we bought up, and also made several recommendations that we hadn't even considered.
We tweaked the documents several times to fine tune them to our specific needs and desires, and his staff was very efficient a getting the updated drafts for us to review. We never felt rushed, or like we were wearing out our welcome. Michael charges for the work he does, not for answering questions related to the documents or process. He is very patient, and has a great sense of humor as well.
Our process has been completed and we are fully funded. I can't thank Michael enough for the time, advice and service he gave us.
