After several attempts to get a simple Will done by another attorney, I was lucky to find the Law…read moreOffice of Kevin Szotkowski. Kevin created a revocable living trust for me in 5 weeks. It would have taken less time but both he and I had prior commitments which added 1-2 weeks to the project. He offered an initial free phone consultation to answer any questions and further explain the advantages of a Living Trust vs. a simple Will. After I signed the Attorney-Client Retainer Agreement, I was sent Estate Planning Worksheets which Kevin used to create a draft of my Living Trust. He and I reviewed the draft over the phone and once I approved the final document, we were ready to schedule a signing meeting. I left the meeting with an Estate Planning Binder which contained all the signed documents and many additional helpful tabs such as "Funding Instructions", "Memorial Instructions", etc. I would strongly recommend Kevin Szotkowski if you are considering creating a Will or a Living Trust. He is knowledgeable, easy to work with, and his price was comparable or less than other offices I contacted.

The best estate attorney we ever met…read more The wife and I needed to create a new "Living Trust" now that we are in Nevada. For something this important, we wanted to do a lot of research. Maybe we are a bit pickier about this task since my wife was a paralegal in a law firm for over 30 years and I have been the executor for two of my family members in the past, so I am very familiar with what goes on in handling final affairs of others during probate. A long and complicated process. This is why we chose to create a trust among other reasons. We went to two different seminars from other companies that create Trusts / Wills. Frankly we weren't impressed with one of the companies that did a seminar, and the other company was fair. They were not law firms. Then we called and spoke with Keven who gave us a telephone consultation so we wouldn't have to go to the office for that. He spent a lot of time, and we did not feel rushed to get off the phone. His answers to questions were right on target, VERY informative, and perfectly accurate rather than things we heard in seminars. After discussing with the wife a few days, we chose them. It would cost us a little more to have a REAL law firm do the work, yet well worth it. Since Keven's law firm specializes in this area of law instead of being a catch all law firm, we got the exact personal service we needed. When it came time to do the trust, Allison handled all the details expertly and quickly while giving us time to change things along the process. When we visited their office for the final signing, we were even more impressed with the really personal, friendly approach presented by Keven and Allison. We feel like we were treated as members of the family. They are also obviously really intelligent people across the board, not just about Wills and Trusts. We received the final nice binder of documents the other day and everything was excellent. I could go on, but you get the point. You won't regret choosing their law firm to handle this very important set of documents.

I highly recommend The Living Trust Source / 1Source Law. They did an excellent job preparing an…read moreestate plan that is tailor-made according to our wishes. For years, my husband and I had been putting off doing our estate plan. Just the thought of starting it seemed very daunting.Thanks to estate planning attorney, Kevin Walsh, and operations manager, Allison Cairns -- they made the whole estate planning process very easy for us. They had been with us from the initial consultation to completion, and they are still caring for us up to the present. I'm confident they will be there for us in the years to come. HERE ARE THE THINGS THAT SETS "THE LIVING TRUST SOURCE" APART FROM THE COMPETITION: READILY AVAILABLE and RESPONSIVE - In Reno, there seems to be a shortage of estate planning lawyers, so it's very difficult to set up an appointment unless you're willing to wait for months just to get an initial consultation. But when we contacted The Living Trust Source and asked if we could get an appointment soon, they were able to accommodate us and we were able to do our initial consultation within a week. They were also quick and gracious in returning our calls and emails whenever we needed them. CONVENIENCE - Conducting meetings with Kevin was very convenient. We were able to meet with him via Zoom video call, and sometimes, via phone. We didn't have to leave our house. The only time we had to do it in person was during the signing of the documents. Even the signing process was convenient. They gave us options to meet either at our house, at a nearby park, or at their office -- whichever was comfortable for us. They also helped arrange for 2 persons that would sign as witnesses. They provided a full service, one-stop shop since Allison was also the notary public when we did the signing. CLEAR, THOROUGH and ORGANIZED - At the start of the service, they provided us with a clear, step-by-step overview of the process. Upon completion, they had organized our Living Trust and Wills in a professional quality binder, with easy to understand summary of documents and their purpose, as well as clear instructions how we can easily transfer assets to the Trust. All the documents were scanned and stored in a USB. KNOWLEDGEABLE, PROFESSIONAL, RELIABLE, and GOOD AT EXPLAINING -- During the consultation phase, we had asked Kevin a lot of questions, expressed our concerns, and presented him with what-if scenarios unique to our situation. Kevin carefully listened, addressed all of them, and gave us his professional advise. He was very good at explaining everything to us. INDIVIDUALIZED / TAILOR-MADE - After hearing our plans and wishes, Kevin was able to draft our estate plan exactly according to how we wanted to handle our estate. We're very pleased! REASONABLE COST / NO HIDDEN FEES - I would say that the cost they charge for estate planning is about the same as other law firms I contacted in the area. Now, I've seen some law practices websites that show a low starting cost, but be aware that only the very basic stuff is included in their starting fee. With The Living Trust Source we got a comprehensive set of documents. A flat fee was quoted to us prior to signing the contract. Everything was disclosed upfront. There were no surprise/hidden fees whatsoever. VALUE - At first, we were thinking of doing estate planning all by ourselves and just fill out generic forms to save money. I'm so glad we didn't go that DIY route. Upon consultation with Kevin, we learned so much in the process and realized that had we done the estate plan ourselves, we would have made erroneous decisions that would lead to problems in the future -- leaving our family with a mess to cleanup and costing them more money in the long run. FOLLOW THROUGH - Finally, we were really impressed with the fact that after the creation of our Trust / Estate Plan, Kevin and Allison didn't just stop there. They were always in contact with us to ensure that there were no loose ends remaining and that all probate-triggering assets were placed in the Trust. They did their yearly audit of documents and corrected what needed correcting (i.e. we had to re-do the signing of one document, but as always they made it very convenient and with no extra cost to us). They always encouraged us to give them a call should we have any questions down the road. They also offered support should our family need their assistance in the future.

I've been meaning to do some estate planning for years and have even spoken with other attorneys…read moreabout it, but Angie was the only person who demystified the process for me. We met once to game-plan, she drafted the documents and sent them electronically (encrypted) for review, we finalized them, and then we met again to sign everything. She recorded them with the county, provided electronic and physical copies of all the signed docs immediately, and we're all set now. I'm glad it's finally done and everything is written out so that we shouldn't have to update anything unless our wishes change. I have a legal insurance plan, which made getting a trust, will, power of attorney and medical directives executed at a very reasonable rate.

I…read morepreviously spoke with another attorney on our plan and so glad I decided to find another option. Attorney Elquist helped us set up a Trust, Powers of Attorney for Health and Finances for both me and my husband, and couple other related documents. She was very organized and made what an otherwise complicated process smooth and easy to understand. She kept an open line of communication throughout and answered our questions in a timely manner. After the first meeting in person, we did everything else through email and only met again to sign the documents. She understood our time constraints and so she had everything ready to go and we finished everything during our lunch break. Having all these legal documents completed can be a daunting task so I'm very glad to have Atty Elquist to guide us throughout the process. I highly encourage everyone to (1) have the necessary legal papers in place; (2) check if this is something offered through work. The fees can be pricey (at least $2k), so having work cover part of it is a great benefit to take advantage of,; and (3) contact Atty Elquist for a consultation. Each family has different needs but she will be happy to walk you through what documents you need to have in place. I highly recommend!

I waited 3-4 weeks , never received a call back and called the office again and told the receptionist what happened and she said she would make a note of that and pass it along to Carol. Once again i never heard back about making an appointment . My dad and Mother in law had no issues and a pleasant experience with setting up an appt and creating a trust , but my wife and I weren't so lucky . It feels weird to recommend someone to a couple family members and then have a bad experience myself. I'm not sure if it's just incompetence from the receptionist or business is so good that it doesn't matter if you return phone calls to potential customers, either way it left a bad taste in my mouth and I will take my business elsewhere. My mother in law had her sister call Carol a week ago after moving here from out of state and hadn't heard back so I can only assume that this is normal for her office to drop the ball and you should consider yourself to be lucky if you actually get a return call. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression, I definitely wouldn't recommend this law office to anyone again .
