Excellent estate planner

James (Alfie) and spouse (Jessica) created a thorough and complete Estate Plan, Will and Trust for us. Alfie was very helpful by discussing ways to address our needs and pointing out areas requiring our attention. We are extremely satisfied with both the process and the results!

Excellent Estate Planning

My spouse and I were very pleased with the results of our collaboration with Alfie Butts and his associate Jessica. They put together a full package of updated estate documents, alerting us to special considerations relevant to our specific situation. Their package included trust documents, wills, po...wers of attorney, medical directives, and instructions for survivor. They also put together packages for us to send to all the people who may have a role in administering any of the elements of the package. They were flexible in accommodating our schedules and explained things to us in a patient and comprehensive manner.
