      Family Trust, well done!

      5.0 stars

      We had put off getting a trust for years and realized we were running out of time. After searching the internet, I found Berry Peters website easy to understand and learned a lot about wills and trusts from it. I made an appointment with him, filled out a form from his website to bring with me and was surprised how easy it was to have our trust made up. Thanks a to Barry Peters experience, he had answers to our questions and brought up things we would not have thought of. I feel very confident that our trust was done properly and complete.

      We have worked with Barry a number of times throughout the last 20 years and know him to be honest, fair, and trustworthy. Barry's knowledge and expertise in creating wills, living wills, and family trusts makes the process quick and easy. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a will or trust.

      Mr. Peters was immediately responsive to my initial inquiry and made an appointment with us right away at our convenience. In our initial meeting he was professional, personable, thorough, fair and just tremendously helpful. Our family knew immediately what we needed to do from the choices he gave us. Since then, the months to follow just showed more of the same characteristics. Each email was concise and guided in exactly what we needed to do. Coming up on a year and we are through with the probate case and he was with us the whole way steering us. We highly recommend him. We wish you well, Mr. Peters and are so thankful.

      We have used Barry on three separate occassions over the past 15 years to create and then update our wills. On this most recent visit he advised us to create a trust rather than a will and we saw the many benefits of doing it this way. He has always been very helpful and thorough in guiding us along the way and his professionalism and knowledge have been excellent. We highly recommend him.

Time was of the essence in our particular situation and Barry made sure that our entire estate planning package was very quickly but thoroughly completed. This was a huge relief for us; we highly recommend him without reservation.
