Highly recommend Solace Estate Planning!

My husband and I sought help with establishing an estate plan. After attending a presentation by Ben Turshen we chose Solace Estate Planning as Ben’s knowledge and passion impressed us. Because we both have children from previous marriages, our situation was complex, but Ben guided us through importa...nt decisions we hadn’t previously considered and helped us establish a trust. He created a comprehensive plan covering both financial matters and healthcare directives and provided clear guidance on funding the trust. We highly recommend Solace Estate Planning.

Ben Turshen - Asset Protection Lawyer

I attended a presentation by Ben Turshen at the Mandel JCC. The material was comprehensive and emphasized the need for Estate Planning . I took advantage of the invitation for a consultation and have since become a client. Ben has worked diligently with me to ensure I have an estate plan that is thor...ough and protects my assets for my designated beneficiaries.

Comprehensive estate p lanning

I met attorney Ben Turshen of Solace Estate Planning when I attended a lunch seminar he gave at a local community center. I was interested in learning more about the estate planning process, as I felt the estate plan prepared by another attorney I worked with previously was not comprehensive enough. ...I later met with Ben for a complimentary personal consultation and was impressed with his ability to explain things very clearly and thoughtfully. At the conclusion of that meeting, I decided to retain him to prepare a revocable living trust. Ben and I met several times to ensure that I understood how the trust worked, and how it would protect my assets and avoid probate. He took the time to get to know me and my family situation, and he very patiently answered all my questions. I found Ben easy to work with and was pleased with the thoroughness of the resulting estate plan. It’s a relief to know that all the necessary arrangements are now in place for the benefit of my family in the future.

Estate planning doesn't have to be overwhelming

I came to Ben with absolutely no estate planning/no will/nothing planned for the future of my family. I found the entire process completely overwhelming so I had avoided doing anything about it. Ben made the process so simple and required very minimal effort on my part. He gave exact instructions for... what he needed and set reasonable deadlines. I was able to get my entire estate done and planned rapidly. It's complete now and I am grateful the very needed documents are secure in my safe! I would recommend Solace Estate Planning to anyone who wants an estate planned thoroughly and thoughtfully - it is an incredible peace of mind I did not know I was lacking.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
