Guardian seeking assistance

I was appointed guardian of an elderly demented lady. She was placed in a caregiving facility and left a cluttered home, additional property, and autos to be dealt with. After many months of working through possessions, trash, files, etc. I realized I needed help. A friend highly recommended Janna Wa...llace as she had helped him with an elderly family member. I called Ms. Wallace and she has helped me organize the estate and set it on a course to assure the proper outcome for the future. She provided legal assistance with the Clerk of the Court pertaining to annual reporting and real estate. She was knowledgeable in all areas of handling the estate and directed me when needed to other persons for advise. I now have peace of mind and always know help is just a phone call away. After our initial discussion a plan was set in motion knowing what needed to be done step-by-step until our goal was accomplished. This included liquidating all properties. I found her fee to be very reasonable and would recommend Janna to anyone needing help with elderly care.
