Marinus H W Goossens

I really enjoyed working with Mark and he did a fantastic job on our Estate planning. When we finally met with him he took lots of time to make sure my wife and I understood every detail. His work was top notch, and his prices are very reasonable.. I shopped around a lot before choosing Mark, and he... was not the cheapest, but far from the most expensive.. The only problem we had was he would sometimes not respond to my emails and phone calls, and that got frustrating at times.

I was appointed Executor of my best friend’s Estate in his will. After my Friend’s demise I consulted a number of attorneys but they would neither take my Probate case nor talk to me at all. Mr. Goossens talked to me and set up a consultation after the first phone call. The Estate of which I was Exec...utor had unique problems and challenges. At our first consultation Mr. Goossens was able to understand the problems quickly and map out a strategy to meet the various challenges. Mr. Goossens successfully met each challenge. Months after Mr. Goossens started the Probate procedure additional challenges concerning my friend’s State taxes were presented by the State Franchise Board. Mr. Goossens successfully guided me through these unexpected State tax problems. He also guided me through the closing of my friend’s Tax accounts, both the State and the Federal. If a question was raised by a beneficiary Mr. Goossens quickly and tactfully answered it through their attorney. If a problem was presented by a beneficiary Mr. Goossens quickly and tactfully resolved it through their attorney. The Probate of my Best friend’s Estate was handled professionally and tactfully by Mr. Goossens despite a number of unique problems and challenges. I would highly recommend Mr. Goossens to anyone with an estate that needs to go through Probate.

Mark helped me set up my estate plan. He was very organized and clear. He spent time upfront explaining the key concepts, the process and timeline. He made the process very simple through questionnaires and uses a simple and easy way to review the documents and exchange feedback. He was courteous and... professional the entire time and always prompt answering questions. The end product, the estate plan binder, was very well organized and clear. It was a great experience.
