Wills and Living Wills 25%

We typically prepare wills in conjunction with preparing living trusts because a Will alone does not allow you to avoid probate. Having a Will, by itself, ensures that your estate will pass through probate, and that its distribution will be public information. Also, Wills are typically easier to contest than a living trust, and Wills are usually not enforceable from state to state.

Trustworthy & Dependable

Kent prepared our Family Trust and Contract Agreement with our Independent Contractors. He was professional, thorough and patient. He asked questions, made suggestions and produced our documents in a timely manner. We recommend Kent to anyone needing a great business attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
