My wife and I have had a Revocable Trust (with supporting documents) for 12 years that needed to be updated. The name of Thomas Bouman was given to us by our bank's Trust Department. We have never dealt with a person who would be as direct, though, prepared, proficient and honest as Thomas Bouman. ...

Mr. Bouman updated and revised the Trust to reflect changes since my husband's death, and my wishes to add one of my sons as trustee. He grasped the situation quickly and handled the changes in an efficient and friendly manner. I have known Mr. Bouman since first contact with him in 2002, and have go...ne through two updates (2009 & 2012) prior to this one.

My wife and I hired Tom to help us put together an estate plan that included a trust, power of attorney, and living will. Over the course of two meetings, Tom took the time to explain to us the intricacies of estate planning, listened to what we wanted to accomplish by establishing these estate d...ocuments, and then put together a draft for us to review. At the final review meeting, we went through every section of the trust and associated documents in detail—and he answered our questions until we were satisfied that we understood the documents and that they met our intended needs. We then signed the document and he sent us our copies within a few days. Tom’s professionalism, understanding of estate law, and his ability to distill “legalese” into a vocabulary that anyone can understand—makes him a remarkable resource for anyone that finally wants to get their estate planning done. We will continue to work with Tom in maintaining our estate plan and would recommend him to anyone looking to do the same.
