Nathan Culford Rien

My husband and I had put off estate planning for many, many years. We finally decided we needed to get a family trust done and I went to the internet in search of a lawyer. I wanted someone local if possible. I read Nathan's reviews and decided to set up a consultation appointment. I filled in the on...line form, and he called me back within hours. We had the consult 2 days later. After talking with him for 15 minutes we knew he was the person we wanted. He was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. His price was reasonable. We thought it would be difficult to get all the information we needed together, but Nathan gave us a "homework" packet asking for all the needed information. It was quick and easy to complete. I had an odd partnership agreement from my father's estate, and Nathan researched the viability of the agreement and gave me several options of how to handle it in my Trust. (My partners had asked their attorneys and got no advice, but Nathan handled it for me, and my partners are now doing the same with their respective trusts). When we arrived to sign paperwork, he went through each and every document and explained them in detail. He then put everything into a binder and explained what we needed to do next as far as what information to take with us to inform our banks, insurance companies, etc. about the new trust. He also handled all the deed paperwork to get our home into the trust. We were then given the binder, and also were sent a digital copy of the signed trust. As an added bonus, he also included a second binder for our executor, explaining exactly what needs to be done, step-by-step to distribute the trust. That gave my husband and I, along with our daughter, the executor peace of mind. While picking up the trust, we mentioned my husband was going in the next day for an angiogram. Nathan called to see how it went! It was so kind and appreciated by both of us. We really feel like he has us covered. I would not hesitate to refer my family and friends to Nathan for all of their estate planning needs. Sincerely, Nancy R.

I contacted Nathan to request assistance getting through the trust process after my grandfather passed away. He was very helpful in explaining the process and the options available to me. Nathan was very flexible & easy to work with, quickly putting together the agreed-upon documents and then making ...requested document changes quickly and accurately. I also found his fees to be very reasonable and the online payment/document handling website was simple and straightforward. What took Nathan's work over the top was when I was struggling with a third party and Nathan took the time to step in and clarify the process and rapidly put together additional documents to solve the issue. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Nathan again in the future if I ever need estate help. Thanks for your work, Nathan!
