Definitely recommend Vidhya Babu

My husband and I have been clients of Vidhya Babu's for several years. We first partnered with Vidhya to create our family's trust, and with her guidance, have continued to evolve it over time to better fit our family's changing needs. Our experience with Vidhya has been excellent every step of the w...ay. We have referred Vidhya to so many of our friends and family members and they have all shared their own wonderful experiences working with her. I trust Vidhya implicitly. She has my family's best interest in mind and I can't recommend her highly enough.

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.

Vidhya is quite simply the best!

No one enjoys making end-of-life plans. My husband, Mike, and I delayed our estate planning for years. Fifteen years ago, we had a false start with a cut-rate lawyer. One session with this utterly incompetent attorney drove us into the caring and ultra-competent arms of Vidhya Babu. What makes Vid...hya so perfect for her profession? She actually enjoys what she does. This means she is motivated to keep abreast of estate law, which she is then able to explain in clear English to her clients. And she doesn’t roll her eyes when you ask her to repeat! And sometimes repeat again! Vidhya has infinite patience. After our first meeting in 2010, Vidhya would only occasionally nudge us to ensure we were making progress. She understood our procrastination. Vidhya listens. We always felt she understood our requirements and was supportive as we struggled with our decision making. Thanks to Vidhya, Mike and I have wills, durable powers of attorney, advanced health directives, and a revocable trust which was created in 2010. We updated these documents in 2016, and then earlier this year, we did a complete rethink and rewrite. Mike and I whole-heartedly recommend Vidhya as a consummate professional who will guide you as painlessly as possible through your estate planning.

Expert

Vidhya Babu has handled my estate issues for 14 years. She expertly guided me through probate and set up a trust following my husband’s untimely death in 2010. Recently, she updated my trust, will, and advanced care directive after the passing of my adult son. Vidhya Babu is an expert who is also ver...y efficient and compassionate. It is my great fortune to know her and retain her as my legal expert.
