I reached out to Richard, my financial advisor's recommendation. Richard promptly scheduled an appointment with me and my wife and explained the details about Revocable Trust. He also described the differences between other options, such as Living Will and Irrevocable Trust. All of this was done ove...r a Zoom call from the comfort of my home. He reviewed my expectations and provided specific advice about the type of Trust, the benefits, and maintenance. He meticulously had me and my wife listed all our financial assets and real estate. Ideas like planning the percentage of benefits passed on to my children and the age schedule were constructive in putting together a thorough plan.
The elapsed time to complete the documentation was about six months. I paid half upfront and half after completion. Richard’s team connected me through this period and shared the drafts. He set up another Zoom call to educate me on the prepared draft. This beneficial session lasted over two hours, during which Richard answered every question my wife and I were seeking clarity on. I have become familiar with what otherwise looks like a legal pile of papers.
Once I signaled my clarity and understanding, Richard’s team scheduled my wife and me for an in-person visit to his office to sign the documents before the witness. It is a friendly office with a supportive staff; the signing process was about an hour. I now have peace of mind that I've got a Revocable Trust, a digital copy of it, and a Living Will; all my life's efforts are covered, and I can have my family continue to build on my efforts further. He is also available to answer any follow-up questions or processes.
