Wills

Ms Bazante was very thorough in helping us finish our will. Her guidance and explanation of each step really made the process totally painless!! Highly recommend her!

Peace

My husband and I, both in our 70's had nervously put off making our wills until now. Annabel Bazante guided us through the whole process with great wisdom and clarity and now we feel much more secure about the future.

Efficient and Professional

When my sister suddenly passed away I needed someone to help me close out her estate and help me conclude over two years of estate issues that I was saddled with. I was put in touch with Annabel who was professional and efficient. She preformed per my direction and never looked to run up hours of wo...rk. Her advise on the matters at hand was spot on. I am only sorry that I did not engage her sooner to help me close out this estate for my family. I would not hesitate to recommend her services or use her in the future.

Provides thorough and clear estate planning

I and my son are very pleased with the documents she prepared and advice and explanations of the process that she has provided for us. I now have a living trust, Will, and Power of Attorney. In addition I know have an updated Living Will and Health Care Proxy. It is such a good feeling to have someon...e so knowledgeable guide us through document process.

Professional From Beginning to End

I live in Manhattan, so I would have never thought to look for an attorney outside the city, but, Annabel came highly recommended. I needed to find an attorney to draw-up an Estate Plan for me. I was not disappointed. From the first contact I made with Annabel, then and thereafter, I always could cou...nt on both a quick and clear reply. Distance was not an issue in working with Annabel. She came to meet me in Manhattan for our initial conversation. During that meeting, I was impressed with her patience in listening to my concerns and thoroughness in collecting all the important facts. Unlike other attorneys that I have worked with, Annabel was not formulaic in her counsel. She carefully weighed all the pros and cons of what I was asking for; brainstormed various alternatives and arrived at solutions that included what I wanted and not a boiler plate plan that others are more quick to present. After numerous calls, exchanges of e-mails, reading and correcting draft documents, Annabel came back to Manhattan for the final signing of my documents. Throughout the whole process of setting-up my Estate Plan, Annabel was a professional who considered my wishes and needs and incorporated them into a first rate Plan. It’s without any hesitation that I recommend Annabel Bazante.
