Christopher John Albence

Our individual wills and trust were uncomplicated, but still involved numerous related documents. Chris gave my wife and I an ample amount of consultation time (we didn't feel rushed). He answered all of our questions and was prompt in producing the final documents. His fees were reasonable for th...e personal expertise involved.

Chris produces legal documents that are easy to read and understand and address my individual needs. My husband and I started using him in the mid 1990s and now that my husband has passed, and I am 87, having Chris taking care of me and my estate planning is a comfort as I have complete confidence ...in him and our years of working together.

My wife and I met with 3 trust attorneys before making our final decision. Chris Albence was recommended by our CPA and has a close relationship with our Investment Advisor at Wells Fargo so he had solid recommendations from the beginning. We were not disappointed. Mr. Albence is an excellent, hig...hly competent trust attorney with solid experience and credentials. And he was very easy to communicate with...especially when explaining legal terms unfamiliar to us. Our trust was very complicated. It involved not only real estate, a premarital agreement, Bypass and QTIP trusts but other special circumstances which Mr. Albence customized and adjusted to our specific needs. One of the things we both appreciated was his integrity and candid advice, often pointing out things we had never considered. If you need a highly skilled legal professional to handle your trust, my wife and I recommend him. And in this tight economy, we also found his legal fee to be fair and competitive.

Chris has been invaluable. We had a unique situation involving eldercare and providing financial support while my mother was in assisted living. He helped us with the very involved paperwork needed to get a loan on her home, ie, a new trust, quitclaims etc. He was incredibly patient with us as we a...sked endless questioms. He also gave us good information regarding keeping my mother Medical eligible. We found him to be a person with outstanding listening skills and an obvious knowledge of the area of eldercare law. As we said earlier, we found his counsel invaluable and would recommend him to anybody struggling with the complex issues of eldercare. He was exceptional!
