Ben A. Longwill

I've had an estate plan and three revisions over the years since 1995. Everytime I updated the plan, I (or my sister) had a lawyer look at it (usually with a cost) before getting a notary/witnesses/etc. (And no, I don't remember who those lawyers were...) This year, I found Ben (recommended by a ...friend). Ben looked at my estate plan and said it's good to go. He told me the entire document could be shorter and cleaner in 2026, than it was in the 90's/early/mid 2000's, but he wouldn't change a thing. I asked him what I own him, his time/review cost, and he told me it's been his policy for decades "free consultation". I've never had to argue with an attorney about this, but this wasn't a consultation, Bill reviewed my entire estate plan! He insisted it was a free consultation. I'm not sure what he'd do for me to have to pay him, but bottom line... if I ever need a lawyer for estate planning (and probably other), I now have a lawyer. And when in trouble, I'd say call my lawyer. Haven't ever had one before this! But it's nice to be able to say, call my lawyer!
