Seamless and Efficient Estate Planning Services

We went to Chris Heritage to draw up a replacement Trust, Wills, POAs for Healthcare and Financial matters. Chris was the epitome of professionalism and demonstrated a knowledgeable thorougness in his procedures for collecting the information needed to create these documents and subsequently review ...them with us. His presentation process for review was uniquely done on a large video screen where he made corrections and changes in "real time". The final documents were presented in a fine "Estate Planning Porfolio" binder with guidance for its use. Everything about working with Chris and his exceptional staff was efficient, accomodating, and courteous with carried out with appropriate and promt communication. What had been a tedious and sometimes difficult process with our former attorney was made seamlessly efficient and simple by Chris and his staff. We endorse and highly recommend his legal practice with great gratitude for the work he did for us.

Thorough, concise, and easy to understand the process

Went to Chris for assistance with end of life legal issues, not knowing ANYTHING about how to prepare for my own demise. Chris was terrific, was very good at explaining things to a non-legal minded person, and gave me the sense of confidence that my personal wishes will be carried out. Highly recomme...nd !
