Family Estate Planning

Ms. Paka helped us put in place a number of legal documents that would protect our children in the event of our planning. This included guardianship, a trust, DNRs, and end-of-life documents. Her experience and knowledge made me feel confident that our interests were well-protected. She was more th...orough than anything we could have found on the internet, and remains willing to help us with any unexpected questions that may arise. She was easy to work with as well!
