Multi State Property Trust

I have properties in 3 states and was overwhelmed by what I should do with regard to my estate plan. After interviewing 3 other attorney's Rory Morse stood out as the one to do the job. He patiently listened to my concerns and situation and in short order we drew up a Trust and the related documents ...that put everything in place. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend this firm.

FANTASTIC FIND

After losing a close relative to COVID-19 a probate issue surfaced which would have been very difficult to traverse without the appropriate knowledge and understanding of the relevant personal situation, greatly exacerbated by restrictive pandemic based logistical restraints. Rory took the time to fu...lly understand the family situation and was able to quickly and efficiently put the process into motion. Calls and emails were always returned quickly. I was impressed enough with his handling of the probate situation that I hired him to help update my personal estate planning as well. I have no reservations about recommending his services to both family and friends.

Painless estate planning!

Rory crafted an estate plan for my wife and I, and the experience went well beyond my expectations. Rory and team made every step in the process simple and we are walking away grateful that we found him! I would definitely recommend Rory to anyone who needs estate planning legal work done.

You couldn't find a better estate attorney!

Mr. Morse represented me with the administration of my late brother's trust. Mr. Morse has the uncanny ability to be the consummate professional and at the same time be warm, understanding, patient, and compassionate. He went above and beyond many times to help me and answer all of my incessant que...stions. He was totally approachable and available whenever I needed him. Throughout the entire time of his representation, he always made me feel appreciated as a client. My husband and I will definitely be hiring Mr. Morse to do our trust and I am honored to enthusiastically recommend him.

Rory helped us amend our trust. He explained what we could legally change and made the appropriate changes where indicated. he was timely in sending us drafts of his work so that we could prove the changes before finalizing the document

"Rory is a fantastic attorney. We met in law school, where he could -- and would -- patiently explain trusts and estates to our fellow classmates. The same patience (and firm grasp of the law) carries through to his law practice. You won't be disappointed with Rory, and he will represent you well. I highly endorse Rory!"
