    My father's wife convinced him to create a trust, when a will would have been fine. It cost him…read more$5000 to set up the trust. Since his passing in October of 2025, the process for resolving the trust has been very difficult. it's going to cost us around $8500 additionally after the initial $5000, and we have no communication. It would have been faster and cheaper to have a will. The notice to creditors has maybe still not happened, almost 6 months later, or at least we have not been told. I could give names of those within Strauss who have been unresponsive, but I would rather not.

    Our father set up a trust with Strauss Attorneys, PLLC. He died over two years ago and we were…read moretold that Dad's assets should be easy to distribute and it should take less than a year to close everything. We still have not received all the funds. Although we are successfully retired college graduates, we have been told by estate lawyers here in Michigan that dad's trust was written to specify subtrusts (with Strauss as trustee) that are appropriate for beneficiaries who are drug addicts or incapacitated in some way. Initially Strauss delayed putting a notice to creditors in the paper (typically done a week or two after death) for over six months, delaying the partial distribution which we got eleven months after dad died. They remediated the subtrust issue by generating new subtrusts at our expense - another half a year. These apparently are paying taxes at the maximum possible rate because there are no K1s. Every quarter fees are taken from the trust but there is no transparency, no accounting statements despite many requests, and no end to the delays. We are frustrated beyond description and starting to wonder if an employee has absconded with the funds. Hoping it doesn't drag on to 2026. I wish we had hired a different North Carolina law firm long ago and made them trustee.

    We completed our estate planning documents this week including a joint revocable trust, pour over…read morewills, powers of attorney, health care powers of attorney and property transfers. Ethan Carroll assisted us in planning and executing these documents with expertise and professionalism. We have been most impressed with the service we have received and found the You Tube videos were very helpful in providing guidance and understanding these complicated legal matters. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone needing assistance with estate matters.
