Review Lydia Mosser

Estate Planning

Posted by HeatherTue Oct 09 2018

My husband and I hired Lydia Mendoza Mosser to help with our Estate Planning. Lydia was very professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. She made the process very easy to understand and was always available to answer questions we had along the way. Lydia truly was an excellent guide for completing the process and we would highly recommend her.

Painless process!

Posted by anonymousMon Sep 17 2018

Lydia was professional but warm and so easy to work with to get our estate plan completed and even created a trust for our family. We had been putting off estate planning for a while but with two young kids we knew it was important to get it done and Lydia made it very easy while being thorough. I would recommend Lydia to my friends and family.
