Great trust/estate laywer

Our family has been working with Vidhya since we put together our trust together in 2016, and and then refreshed it with her in 2024 when she formed her new firm. Working with Vidhya has been fantastic! She listens carefully to our family's needs, explains things simply and patiently, and gives great... common-sense advice. We feel like we are in great hands with Vidhya and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Wholeheartedly recommend Law Office of Vidhya Babu

Vidhya Babu was recommended by a friend. At the time, my mother was diagnosed with ALS and did not have an updated will nor did she have a trust. After hearing the horror stories of how probate works my mother was agreeable to meeting with Vidhya. I am so grateful she did! Talk about not knowing ...what you don’t know! Vidhya was instrumental in getting all necessary documents up to date - advanced directive, durable power of attorney, release for protected health information, will and trust. My biggest concern was having the house put into the trust so we wouldn’t have to go through probate and I wouldn’t be kicked out of the house in a short amount of time. Both mom and I asked many questions, many times. I was completely new to all of this and mom can be very demanding and pointed in her questions. Vidhya took the time to answer all of our questions in a way we could understand, never once being exasperated. In fact, Vidhya was very caring and genuinely concerned that we understood what she was explaining to us, she has the patience of a saint! Going through this process isn’t easy and Vidhya was there every step of the way guiding us. When mom passed, Vidhya pretty much held my hand and guided me step by step on what I needed to do to follow mom’s trust. She took care of the title change which was huge for me. It was stressful enough during this time and I’m so grateful for Vidhya’s help. In short order, I had Vidhya prepare my will, trust and other documents. Whew - so happy to have that done so my kids don’t have to stress about this. What a relief. As far as I’m concerned, it’s never too early to get these documents in order. You just don’t know what life might throw at you. What a gift to your loved ones to have everything spelled out and your wishes known. I would also like to give a big shout out to Vidhya’s Paralegal, Elizabeth! Always on top of everything and also very helpful! I wholeheartedly recommend the Law Office of Vidhya Babu for your estate planning and trust administration needs. I will say it again, it is never too early to get these documents in order!

Excellent trustworthy Attorney

When i needed an estate attorney i had no idea what i needed until i was referred to Vidhya…SHE is what i needed for headache free, painless estate management! Vidhya took time to help me understand everything i needed to know, and take care of all the little things that i didn’t need to know…but sti...ll managed and took care of all! After all of her attentive care with the estate management i decided to transfer my personal trust information over to her to which she has reviewed and helped me rework to better suit me and my family’s future should something to happen. I would highly recommend Vidhya Babu (and her team) to help with your living trust and estate needs…she is 100% honest and trustworthy!!

Excellent all around

Vidhya has my highest recommendation! I have had the pleasure of working with her as a client in two separate matters. The first was when I was appointed the executor of a friend’s estate and she steered the matter through the probate process with ease. In addition to being warm and kind, Vidhya an...swered all of my questions, explained the process, and let me know well in advance what documents and information she needed from me for court filings. I was so impressed with my experience that I went to Vidhya a second time, this time for my own estate planning. I myself am a lawyer and am regularly asked for the name of an excellent trust and estate lawyer and I always recommend Vidhya!

It was a pleasure to work with Vidhya and her staff

 After carefully researching many estate planning attorneys I was fortunate to find the Law Office of Vidhya Babu. I was impressed with the thoroughness of Vidhya’s website which addressed many of my concerns and the positive and respectful experience and ease of our communications. Additionally, ...I was grateful that Vidhya was available via Zoom by which we were able to conduct all our business to my satisfaction. I took all the time I needed, and Vidhya patiently and professionally addressed all my questions. Since I had spent many months researching, I was relieved that Vidhya was able to simplify and implement the process of restatement of my trust to comply with current law, and ultimately that would allow my document to remain current in changing circumstances. I am confident that my current trust will be able to effectively meet any situation due to these enhancements.
