Estate Planning

My wife and I first worked with Sara Winter 2 years ago when my mother in law passed away and we needed assistance settling the estate. More recently, Sara guided us through the estate planning process and getting our own trust set up. In both cases, Sara and the team at Gevurtz Menashe were key t...o us reaching our goals and they were a pleasure to work with in all instances.

Gracious, Thorough and Responsive

I just completed a trust with Sara and she was a delight. I was anxious and she put me at ease while being very thorough and prompt in her preparation of documents and her responses to my questions and requests for changes. I met with her on line and in person and both settings worked well.. I high...ly recommend her.

Excellent & Efficient

I worked with Sara on a revision of my estate documents. She was informed, provided excellent advice, addressed important details beyond the four corners of the documents and was highly efficient in her work. Highly recommended.
