Service Provided: Complex Revocable Trust and Will

We worked with Elizabeth Tresp and Abe Ames to put together our Revokable trust and wills. They both took the time to listen to and most importantly UNDERSTAND what our situation needs were. They were able to patiently guide us throughout the whole process, answering the multitude of our questions without complaint. They got the job done without any problems. We got more than our money's worth. Both Elizabeth, Abe, and their staff were a PLEASURE to deal with. Unlike other firms I have dealt with they always answered calls and emails immediately. They are a pleasure to do business with. I HIGHLY recommend them.”

Service Provided: Estate Planning and Trust Administration

“Late last year, I became a successor trustee for a dear friend who passed away. Not having a legal background, I did some online research on the responsibilities of a successor trustee in California. The legal requirements and duties were complicated, time-sensitive, and lengthy. I contacted Abe Ames for his assistance administering the trust, and I am so grateful and relieved that I did. I was in good hands. Abe outlined for me the many steps involved in trust administration. Together, we worked to ensure each requirement was correctly completed – taxes, accounting, bequests, legal notifications, etc. (Abe was an accountant before becoming a trust attorney; he brings that expertise to his legal work.) When the trust was finally completed and closed last month, I knew I could never have managed as a trustee on my own. What could have been a stressful, life-swallowing responsibility turned out to be a privilege. Working with Abe, in both estate planning and trust administration, has meant peace of mind for me.”
