5 /5 MDSinCA: There are lots of local attorneys and online options to choose from when one is estate planning. For some people, a fill in the blank online document or generic legal advice would work, but our elderly family member needed advice and help with an existing trust so we decided an in person consultation with a more knowledgeable firm was needed. Hyatt-McIntire & Associates was recommended to us and we’re very glad we chose them.
From first contact to the document signing, Judy and Amanda at Hyatt-McIntire were very professional and gave us great advice. The family met with Amanda and our family member explained their wishes to her. Amanda explained the different avenues that would work including the possible consequences of each choice. Throughout the meeting, Amanda made it clear that our elderly family member was her client, which was truly appreciated, especially when it came time to sign the prepared documents. On the day documents were signed, Amanda took time to speak separately with our family member, with a close friend, and finally with the entire family and notary. In addition to the requested changes, there were updates made to the trust documents to better serve our family member’s current and future needs. The entire process was easy, explained well, and suited our family member perfectly. I highly recommend Hyatt-McIntire & Associates.
