My husband and I had been looking for an attorney who offered fair, transparent pricing for estate…read moreplanning services, including our wills, powers of attorney, transfer-on-death (TOD) designations, and advanced health care directives. We'd had a trust in place when our children were younger but didn't feel one was necessary now that they are adults and our assets have clear beneficiaries and TODs. The first firm we consulted insisted that we needed a new trust, quoting roughly $3,000 in upfront meetings before any documents were even prepared, plus a $500 annual maintenance fee. When we met with Kathryn, the experience was entirely different. She provided clear, set fees from the start, listened carefully to our situation, and agreed that a trust wasn't needed at this stage. She also drafted our wills in a way that makes it easy to transition to a trust later if our financial situation changes. Kathryn was a pleasure to work with--professional, personable, and efficient. Her office had our completed documents ready within two weeks. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for straightforward, reasonably priced estate planning guidance.

His process is detailed but very transparent and he graciously takes all of the time needed to answer not only your own questions but areas needed to be considered.

The legal fees were significantly budget friendly, the professionalism Attorney Karr and his staff were spectacular and he is EXTREMELY accommodating to meet us. I loved his onboarding process for new clients, his documentation he provides in his packet for you to fill out is very easy and a "what to expect" video of him prior to meeting him shows he is looking out for you!

Ron will be there for you. From what I have experienced, I do not think that the downtown-Boston firms have anything on the Elder Law Center!
