Estate Planning

In less than six months, Mr. Heggs settled my deceased husband's unusually difficult estate. He secured an Order of Refusal of Letters to Surviving Spouse, resulting in Title of Property, vested in my name; then advised me of steps to secure a Lien Release on my own, thus saving me money. I followe...d his suggestions and secured said Lien Release. He also drew-up my Last Will and Testament; Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and Health Care Directive; HIPAA Release and Authorization; Declaration (Living Will); General Durable Power of Attorney. He also advised me of steps to secure a Beneficiary Deed, which I accomplished. Mr.Heggs came highly-recommended through friends, and I am passing-on this high recommendation to anyone requiring the service of a competent attorney. He also has the added advantage of what I refer to as a "desk-side" manner...he sincerely cares about his clients.

Excellent Advice and Service

Gary Heggs has been our attorney for many years. He assisted my father-in-law in arranging his affairs and later in settling his estate. He came to our assistance on a real estate matter, which was of some urgency, and came off a vacation day to advise us on how to proceed. He prepared our wills a...nd healthcare directives, and helped us navigate the confusing language on some of our investments. Gary has always provided excellent service and carefully considered and timely advice. I have recommended Gary to anyone who asks about who we use for legal services.

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.
