What Parents Are Saying

"This had been something we had been meaning to do since our kids were born, but we really didn’t know how or where to get started."

"Relief is the first word that comes to mind! We now have a plan in place for the ‘what happens if’ scenario that no one expects!"

"The entire team was very thoughtful. We were both emotional about setting up our estate, but they made us feel comfortable and empowered. We know our children will be taken care of should anything happen to us. They ensured our plan was correct and ready when it was time to sign the documents. Overall, a great experience."

"The Parents Estate Planning Law Firm made the process of putting my assets into an estate very easy. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt at ease. Everyone was very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. I knew it was something that needed to be done but was worried about how complex it would be. After the first meeting, I knew I went to the right place!"

"We just wrapped up our family estate planning process with David and his firm, and cannot speak highly enough about our experience. I was surprised to discover how much I DIDN’T know about the legal ramifications of short-term and long-term guardianship, probate court, health care proxies, etc. As a new mom, I am sleeping more soundly knowing that my son would be in good hands should the unthinkable happen."
