My wife and I have uncomplicated finances: three IRA investment accounts, a non-retirement…read moreinvestment account, a house, and two children and five grandchildren to whom we hope to leave something. Back in 2017, I ventured online and produced a do-it-yourself will and do-it-yourself trust. Big mistake. I discovered that our beneficiaries (our children) were not set up correctly and that the trust would have failed to protect us from probate and was the wrong kind of trust for us. Three weeks ago, we engaged Shaw to do a "trust restatement." What we got were well-crafted trust documents and a team that was easy to work with (Tara Shaw and Arielle Ott). The new trust included what are called "pour-over wills" for me and my wife. Our old wills and our old trust documents are now in the trash can. They have a disciplined process. They (1) sent us a questionnaire to fill out, (2) reviewed and clarified our responses, (3) sent us the draft of the documents with a request for final corrections, and (4) provided a signing meeting with Tara at the end. Throughout the process, they were available to answer questions. Our advice for clients is to be as thorough and accurate as possible in the information you provide steps (1) and (2), else "additional fees may be incurred." They also make clear that "your documents are printed the day before your signing and changes are not made at the signing."

I consulted Jenkins & Jenkins to discuss a trust for my elderly mother, as a local bank had made it…read moresound like she needed one. It was very easy to schedule online a free initial consult. It was a no-brainer to schedule this free first 15 min call, because I wasn't even sure my mom needed a trust. We were nearly going to schedule with a bilingual estate lawyer who would charge an initial fee of $250/hr. Right on scheduled time Michael Jenkins gave me a call, and we were able to determine very quickly that my mother's situation wouldn't benefit from a trust after all. They could have easily pressured me to do it anyway, so I really appreciated their honesty and legal knowledge. Just from this experience, I would go back to them when I actually need to do some estate planning. Thank you!

I can't say enough good things about working with Michael and his team. From the very first call…read morethrough the delivery of our completed trust, the entire process was smooth and stress free. Everything was clearly explained, well organized, and easy to move through, which made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel very manageable. Michael was thoughtful and thorough in helping us think through what we actually needed for our trust, not just pushing a one size fits all solution. He took the time to answer our questions, flag things we hadn't considered, and explain the reasoning behind different options so we felt confident in every decision. Communication was excellent throughout. We always knew what the next step was, timelines were clear, and responses were prompt. It genuinely felt like we were in good hands the entire time. We're extremely happy we chose to work with Jenkins & Jenkins and would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for an estate attorney who is professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.

Jack Stephens understood what we needed and created for us a collection of trust documents that will cover a host of contingencies and will help us avoid probate.
