Updating trust

Greg Duncan Esq. is a personable, professional lawyer who helped us update our trust. He is detailed oriented, yet easygoing and affable. He communicates well and efficiently processed the changes needed to update our trust.

Accurate, Knowledgeable, and Honest

Great experience, got everything done fairly quickly and thoroughly. Gregory is very knowledgeable and professional and knew everything that was required by the USCIS, he made the journey smoother and easier to deal as I was very nervous throughout the process. I highly recommend Gregory in order to ...ease your mind and make sure you are doing everything accurately.

Probating a Will

I was the executor of the will of my longtime companion. We never married which became an immediate problem when I tried to obtain copies of the death certificate and transfer ownership of property. Mr. Duncan's office was right around the corner from my house which was fortunate for me. It took h...im time to convince the City of San Diego to honor my companion's requests in his last will, but he got it done. I have never had the patience to work with that bureaucracy. I guess he has done it so many times that he knew where to go.

So helpful and kind!

Greg was so helpful throughout the entire process! He helped us fill out the paperwork for the I-485 and I-130 and advised us on the required supporting documents for the initial application and for our interview. He was always available to answer any questions we had by email or over the phone. We w...ould highly recommend him!

Greg lifted a heavy weight from my shoulders

Intellectually, I knew that I should have a will, a Trust, a designated power of attorney, healthcare proxy, and everything else that goes into a complete estate plan. Emotionally, I didn't want to think about "afterward" and put it off for years. When my dad passed recently, I felt a new urgency to ...take care of "afterward" now. Greg was terrific to work with, and I enjoyed working with him. I had been feeling somewhat anxious about the process and having to make decisions about things I didn't want to think about. Greg is empathetic to those feelings and put me at ease right from the start. In addition to his extensive legal knowledge and expertise in estate planning, Greg is calm, patient, professional, and an excellent listener and communicator. He clearly and patiently explained to me and guided me through everything that needed to be done to make sure my estate will be managed in accordance with my wishes and to make sure my beloved fur-baby will continue to be loved and well-cared for by the person I want him entrusted to. Greg made the entire process as easy as possible for me, which I highly value and deeply appreciate. He arranged for a Notary when we needed one, filed all the documents with the correct government office, and presented my completed plan to me in a professional binder. Greg, overall, lifted a heavy weight from my shoulders. Had I known how easy it would be working with Greg, I would have turned to him for help years ago. I highly recommend Greg for estate planning.
