Avoid Probate for your kids

We needed to create a trust so our estate could be passed seamlessly to our children when we are gone. We hired Clinton Crosser based on recommendations from our friends. He is impressively experienced and knowledgeable in this area of law. An added bonus is his patience and his delightful personalit...y. Covering all the bases to create a bullet-proof trust is anything but simple, no matter what the on-line ads may say. Crosser law is thorough and meticulous about careful preparation and correction of any errors that may be found. All needed documents such as grant deeds are identified, and Crosser law recovered these for us when missing, filed necessary papers with the county, and gave detailed instructions and forms for us to take to our banks, stock brokers, etc. He gave us a big, well organized binder ("The Blue Monster") with all relevant documents and instructions, including detailed instructions for our kids to follow as successor trustees. All this for a reasonable price. Bravo!

Excellent Attorney, A Pleasure to Work With

My wife and I put off creating a will and family trust for quite some time, fearing that the process would be time consuming and complex. Clinton took the time to teach us about wills and trusts and why we needed both. He was a pleasure to work with and made the entire process quick and easy. I have ...already referred him to friends and family.

Estate plan

Me Crosser helped ed my husband and I with setting up our living trust. It was something we had needed to do for a long time and had been putting of. Me Crosser helped us think about the decisions we needed to make and really worked with us to explain all of the details. It was such a blessing that h...e was able to guide us through the entire process. I highly recommend his services for anyone that needs to do estate planning because he can explain things in simple terms and help you make the really tough decisions.

Clinton Crosser

Clinton Crosser simplified and brought our estate plans up to date. He has also done several other smaller legal tasks for my wife and me. His work is thorough and timely. I have had many attorneys over the years and Clint is the best.

Clinton Mclean Crosser

I was in a fragile state of mind following the death of my beloved mother. Therefore, Mr. Crosser had to repeat instructions more than once. He was very kind and patient with me. He is also very professional, knowledgeable and thorough. The estate was executed without any complications. I highly rec...ommend Mr. Crosser.
