Marinus H W Goossens

We are a client of Marinus Goosen’s and hired him to create our estate plan. As part of this service he agree to be available to answer questions and assist with updates as our lives progressed. Unfortunately, communications with Marinus became significantly delayed and are now non-existent. Communic...ation is so poor that we can’t even confirm if he is a practicing attorney after 6 phone calls and multiple emails. Trusts are living documents which require maintenance and it’s critical an attorney be available for that future maintenance. Our lesson learned is to pick a group that has been around for a while with a clear succession plan.

Marinus (Mark) guided me through the process of setting up two trusts that I had avoided for years. He is very knowledgeable and informative in all aspects of estate planning. With his help, it was not as daunting as I had imagined and I'm so grateful to have it done. I believe he covered everything ...in planning my estate and I have full confidence in the finished product. I don't think you'll regret hiring Mark to help you with estate planning.

Mark made the creation of my Trust straightforward and easy. I realize now that I anticipated it to be much worse than it was. We met initially, where he explained the process and I decided to go forward. His dropbox questionnaires led me through the process well. After looking over his draft and mak...ing a few edits very easily online, it was done. We met one more time where I signed everything and I especially appreciate how he scans every page as I'm signing to give me on a CD as well as my hard copy. I walked out of the office with everything completed. He is readily available when I call with a question and I've already recommended him to several friends.

We have needed an Estate Plan, a Living Trust, the associated Last Will and Testaments, and reworked real estate titles for quite a few years. We finally got the initial procedure started with Mark and he laid out an easily understood plan and a concise timetable. But we had an unfortunate series o...f health issues on our part that turned Mark's concise, straightforward, and easily understood plan into a series of postponements and OhMyGod we need to get this done NOW issues. Mark worked with us and there was never a loss of confidence that it would get done when and how as required. Mark Goossens has my highest recommendations for both creating a Estate Plan and seeing it through regardless.
