Ellen Edwards Farewell

I have been so blessed to have been referred to Ellen. Not only has she handled very delicate family matters in a prompt and professional manner, she has such a friendly kind personality I always feel like I'm talking to a close family member. I give my highest recommendation! I am well taken care... of!

Ms. Farewell and her firm provided professional and caring legal assistance at a time when my family required immediate expert help. My mother suffered a life-threatening medical emergency in the midst of the COVID crisis, and my father - in his 90’s - was unable to make the required medical and f...inancial decisions. With the able assistance of Ms. Farewell’s firm, we quickly created and executed needed Power of Attorney and Advance Medical Directive documents, which allowed me to ensure appropriate care for both my parents. Ultimately, again with the guidance of the Farewell firm, we were able to sell my parents’ home and move them to an assisted living facility near my home in Santa Barbara. They are now in a safe environment and most importantly, together. I relied on the Farewell firm throughout the process of safeguarding my parents and their assets, and will happily use them again for my family’s estate and related legal issues.

Ellen Farewell has helped me in different stages of my life for several years. She helped me with a new will and trust after my divorce. Ellen explained everything and answered all of my questions so I clearly understood. She was always willing to address any concerns. Ellen recently helped our... family with another family member's estate . Her knowledge and professionalism were exceptional during a very difficult time.

I was at my wit's end when I found Ellen! I was seeking assistance with rewriting my will, trust and powers of attorney in an unusual situation and under time pressure and Ellen, with her calm demeanor instantly understood everything I needed but also had insights I never even considered. She is cu...rrent on latest changes in the law, and the timely documents gave me the peace of mind I needed. But more than that, meeting Ellen, a fellow mom, in her office was so comforting and calming. The environment she has created there reflects her personality which instantly put me at ease. As did her sense of humor and insight into human relationships. There is nothing like experience in the business she is in and she has it in spades! Thank you Ellen!
