Estate

I had Merrie do my estate work, with a living trust. She was very thorough, timely and easy to work with. She was helpful with me getting my thoughts organized on this whole topic. Very good!

I contacted Merrie Kippur to help with my Estate Planning Profile. She was very knowledgeable and asked all the right questions in order to complete the profile to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend her for any future legal work. Thanks for a job well done.

Provided us peace of mind

Merrie has been working with our family for years. We can't say enough good things about her and the help she's provided us, regardless of the ask. She's always very professional, but also caring and kind. We needed a trust drafted to protect our mom's estate and assets, she had everything updated... and taken care of quickly. She left nothing for us to worry about, which made the process seamless and stress free.

Probate for late father

Merrie help me in filing all of the Probate documents required for my late father's estate. He passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, and nothing was in place for his estate. She was able to explain to me what forms needed to be filed with the court, where to file the forms, and how to file out the f...orms. She also pre-filled out as much of the documents as she could before turning them over to me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
