We called our trust attorney Adam Evan. We were offered a phone consultation right away! Mr. Evan explained what to do. He emailed us good instructions and a letter to the doctor (if needed).

Over fifteen years ago, a local attorney prepared a revocable trust, pour-over wills, advance…read moredirectives, etc., for my spouse and me. The attorney has no office staff, and it can be difficult to reach them at times. Since we want our attorney to be there for us and our adult children when guidance is needed for estate responsibilities, we consulted Adam Evan to discuss our situation. Adam responded immediately, and was cordial and informative over several communications. It's clear that Adam makes every effort to be readily available when a client needs him, but we learned that moving our estate documents to him will require a new trust. Since I try to read and understand every document, to be sure it's what is intended, we're hesitating until I have the time to carefully read through the many pages of a new trust, but we are very impressed with Adam's background, experience, responsiveness, and integrity.
