Estate Planning Excellance!

Mark gave my husband and I a very thorough consultation about Estate Planning and the importance of creating our Living Trust in order to avoid probate. We felt very comfortable meeting with Mark and hired him that same day! Creating our Living Trust, Pour Over Will, Power of Attorney, and our Advan...ce Healthcare Directives was very professionally prepared for us by The Law Office of Mark Ignacio!!!

Mark John M. Ignacio Review

I initially contacted Mark Ignacio because my mother passed in January, 2018 and I was the designated person to take care of her business following her death. When I contacted Mark, I needed assistance with obtaining and filing the appropriate legal documents for a "Transfer of Deed." I remember tha...t initial conversation with Mark because he was very empathetic regarding my loss. He explained the "Transfer of Deed" process and what was required. He addressed all of my questions and concerns. Mark was both detailed and thorough regarding the process and what was required. By the conclusion of the conversation, I had no doubt that I was ready to hire him for the service and did so. Mark sent me the required documents to file, along with detailed information regarding what steps I needed to take on my end. Approximately 5 months following the initial transaction, I decided that I wanted to have Trust documents prepared. I contacted Mark and advised him, and we began that process. I didn't have to invest any time in seeking someone, I was very happy with my first interaction with Mark, and had no hesitancy with returning to him for the next service. This time around, I had many more questions. Beginning with my initial contact with Mark, I saw that this was someone who truly enjoys their work. He was always extraordinarily patient, able to address any questions or concerns I had (and with the trust, there were many), he never rushed me off the phone, but took the time to ensure that everything had been addressed to my satisfaction and he always extended the invitation to call him if I had additional questions. Mark always returned messages timely. Bottom line, Mark was "always" professional, patient, courteous, and most importantly, it is evident he is very skilled and knowledgeable at his profession. I would hire him again in the future if needed.

Highly recommend Mark Ignacio

My husband and I had been putting off getting our trust in order and Mark helped us get this task accomplished with ease, great conversation and a smile. From beginning to end we only had a couple of meetings. One was a wonderful explanation of what the trust would consist of for my husband and I an...d then what our responsibility would be in completing the pages that state the distribution of our personal properties to loved ones. Mark is very professional with a personal touch; compassion with a smile. My husband and I recommend reaching out to Mr. Ignacio if you are thinking of getting your trust together. This was a simple and painless process. Thank you Mark.

Legal Expertise With a Human Touch

We hired Mark Ignacio to help with our mother's Living Estate planning. Mark exceeded our expectations in providing legal advice and explaining California estate law in a way that was understandable. Most notably was Mark's follow-through. His word is gold and when he says he will contact you or h...ave something prepared by a certain date, it absolutely happens. Additionally, Mark was wonderful with our recently widowed, elderly mother. He was compassionate and respectful, endeavoring to ensure she knew exactly what was going on at all times. Our family is sincerely grateful for Mark's legal advice, help and kindness and do not hesitate to give him our full recommendation.
