The Law office of Vidhya Babu is very impressive

Vidhya handled the updating of our trust and medical directives. The laws have changed and Vidhya reviewed what I currently had. She suggested areas that should be updated and explained why certain items should be included in the Trust and others that should not. Elizabeth on her staff was very fri...endly, helpful and approachable. Vidhya is very knowledgeable, professional, careful, and pays attention to details. I was very impressed by the Law office of Vidhya Babu and highly recommend them. Vidhya handled the updating of our trust and medical directives.

Outstanding Service

My brother and I first met Vidhya when searching for a new trust attorney for our Mother about 10 years ago. We were impressed with her warmth and knowledge. We worked with her to revise Mom's trust at that time. The positive experience prompted me to do my own Trust. Many years later when Mom... passed, Vidhya couldn't have been more compassionate walking us through the process, working with both the financial advisor and CPA on our behalf. She was patient as I was at times, overwhelmed and forgetful. She was responsive even a year later when tax or dispersement questions arose. In another instance Vidhya generously provided guidance on her legal rights to one of my sisters when her husband fell very ill. Another sister subsequently engaged Vidhya to create a Trust for she and her husband. Without hesitation I recommend Vidhya.

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!

Best in class professional + personable + empathetic = Vidhya Babu

Vidhya Babu has been my family's estate attorney for nearly two decades. During this period, there have been deaths in the family, complex issues related to asset protection. Furthermore, as heirs moved to other states and needed their own estate plans crafted, we engaged Vidhya to help screen pros...pective counsel. Vidhya has been considered a key member of our family's advisory group (along with our tax accountant and financial manager). I can recommend her without reservation

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!
