Thorough and Made Process Easy

Posted by LauraTue Jan 05 2016

Mary Elizabeth dew up estate planning documents for me, including a will, a living will and a power of attorney. I was very pleased with her services. She made a tedious process easy. She took my personal circumstances into her recommendations. And she was very professional. I would recommend her to others.
