Shanelle Cherinna Schmitz

Shanelle and her team were professional, thorough and respectful throughout the estate planning process. She added value in many areas of the steps in developing our Trust by guiding us through options that we had not considered. This process necessitates conversations that can be difficult. Shanelle... guided us through thoughtful dialogue to create a family plan that is comprehensive and meaningful. I feel comfortable that Shanelle and her team are now part of our “team” .

Shanelle, as well as the entire staff at Karp Law, were great in helping my wife and I restate our Trust originally drawn up by another local law office in 2015. Shanelle offered up some great options for making sure our assets were distributed that way we wanted. She gave us the necessary time to th...ink about these options, then (along with her staff at Karp Law) put together a very comprehensive package. Though neither my wife or I are legal experts, we strongly felt we had made the best choice in engaging Shanelle for our estate planning.

I very much needed to update my Will and/or get a Trust established (as well as Medical POA, etc.), and Shanelle came recommended through my financial advisor. She walked me through all the aspects of a trust vs. will, explaining what each option could or could not provide in settling my estate. In... the end, I chose a Trust, and the whole process was amazingly thorough and detail-oriented. Shanelle and her staff transformed what at first felt overwhelming into a very smooth and satisfying experience, taking care to assist and guide me at every step of the process, from data gathering to funding of the trust. Highly recommended!
