Estate planning, trust administration, & probate petitions when someone dies with or without a Will. I am currently preparing Wills & Trusts with a virtual consultation and then allowing my clients to choose at-home notarizing outside with all of us wearing masks or U.P.S. store notarizing.
I have always enjoyed helping clients achieve peace of mind in getting their "affairs in order" with foundational estate planning. And given the pandemic and so many unknowns in the world, the peace of mind is greater than ever. I am currently able to turn around the documents after I have all the information I need from clients in very short order, and I have a secure server where confidential documents are uploaded and reviewed by both of us. I try to make the process as seamless as possible, which we can all use these days! Be safe, Ann

Kyle Johnston, Trusts Attorney on Mar 20, 2014
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Ann and I have crossed swords twice now in contested will and trust scenarios. She is dedicated to firmly advocating her client's position. She is civil and professional with opposing counsel. She bought girl scout cookies from me when I took my daughter with me to court. Thanks Ann.
Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community.
