Outstanding, professional estate planning services

It had been many years since we updated our will and we engaged Joshua to help us bring everything up to date. Joshua developed a draft will for myself and my wife, as well as advance medical directive and financial power of attorney documents. The documents that Joshua and his staff developed for u...s are extremely professional with copious cites to pertinent Virginia statutes. Josh delivered the finished product in a very nice binder and followed up with a call to go over everything and respond to any final questions concerning the documents. In addition, he provided advice on the do's and don'ts of storing and executing the documents. In summary, it's hard to envision a more professional and effective legal team than Josh and his staff in the estate planning area of the law.

Accounting and Closing of Family Estate

Josh assisted me with the affairs and closing of my mother's estate. After my mother's death, I did not have a clue what I needed to do. Josh and his staff were very helpful and professional . They guided me and advised me with the accounting and sale of the estate. A job I could not have done on m...y own. Josh and his staff took care of business in a timely and orderly manner. He and his staff were friendly and very accountable. They eased my fear and made my job easy! I would have lost a lot of the benefits as executor and would have faced some unpleasant confrontations without them. If you are left as the executor of your family's estate and need assistance, I highly recommend Joshua Hummer and his amazing staff.

Josh provided clear and concise recommendations about estate documents that we required. He provided an updated will and power of attorney and medical directive at a reasonable price. Office staff was most friendly and helpful.

Top calibur!

My wife and I went to Josh to have our Wills, Advanced Directives and Power of Attorneys done. Josh took the time to explain all the legalese within each of the documents and make suggestions so we wound up with exactly what we needed. I'd highly recommend Josh and his team for your legal needs!
