Great Estate Attorney in the East Valley

Marcus Seiter and his staff were more than helpful setting up our Trust. Marcus always responded right away, was very thorough and informative which made the process easy. Highly recommend!

Professional

My wife and I recently went to Seiter Law, PLLC, and updated our will. We worked with Marcus Seiter, who was very through, and kindly explained all the little details that our last lawyer did not cover and we never even considered. The office staff was easy to communicate and the atmosphere in the of...fice was relaxed and very professional. We have already given out Seiter Law contact information to several friends.

Estate Planning-Highly Recommend

We were researching quite a few estate planning law firms nearby Chandler AZ area and found Mr. Marcus Seiter with good reviews and experience. I then made a first call regarding our living trust and specific needs. During this conversation, Mr. Seiter was straightforward, friendly and knowledgeable.... Mr. Seiter provided a reasonable cost and schedule at the time. This led us with a good impression and we felt comfortably to move forward with him. During our meeting, Mr. Seiter spent his time to go over the revocable living trust scope/essential elements, discuss our needs, and answer all our questions/concerns in details. Following that, Mr. Seiter provided a detailed draft of our living trust document for review. We were very impressed with the summary of estate planning provisions that guided us through the entire review process. To follow-up, we had a second tel-conference. Mr. Seiter reviewed our feedback and answered/clarified additional questions. All the changes were incorporated into the final version. Mr. Seiter and his office staff were well-organized and made the entire document signing process smoothly and timely. We were provided a well-prepared estate document (in a binder). In summary, we were very pleased with our decision with Mr. Seiter and felt fortunate to have him as our estate planning attorney. We would highly recommend Mr. Seiter and his law firm.

Best choice for estate planning!

Our experience with Seiter law could not have been better! We have worked with Marcus on estate planning for ourselves, and for our father/father-in-law. Our college age children both have powers of attorney for medical and financial affairs. In all these situations, Marcus was thoroughly prof...essional, prepared, and extremely helpful. He helped us through the process, patiently answering all our questions, and giving excellent advice. Due to a long illness, we had the occasion to use the medical and financial powers of attorney for our father/father-in-law multiple times. Having these documents in place helped immeasurably. Sadly, he passed away last year. Much of what we faced at that time was a challenge. What was not a challenge? Things related to the estate. Marcus had prepared all the documents we needed and it made things as seamless as possible. Preparing the documents is the first step. Having them available and putting them to use is what makes them so valuable. Medical, financial, and estate related issues can be complicated. With help from Marcus, we had everything we needed.

Estate Planning

Seiter Law, PLLC provided us with a professional in-depth get-to-know-you interview related to our current family situation and financial status. It was friendly, and the discussion was at a level conducive to our limited knowledge about estate planning and available options related to our distributi...on of assets upon our death. Mr. Seiter answered our questions throughout each discussion. After our initial consultation, we were provided with draft copies of all pending documents, which was followed later to obtain signatures on the final documents. There was excellent follow-up throughout the process with no pressure for completion. In all, the entire team at Seiter Law, PLLC conducted our business in a personal and professional manner, which was greatly appreciated.
