Family trust, wills, power of attorney and health care

Jacob notified us of a change in the law and recomended that we should consider revising our estate documents from an A-B trust to a Simple Trust which would be much simpler to manage in our situation. The conversion was completed quickly in a very professional manner and all the revised documents w...ere thoroughly explained to us before signing.

Review of Jacob C. Smith

My husband and I had Jacob rewrite our Trusts to be compliant with Trust Laws of 2015. We felt he did a good job explaining and answering all questions we had in regards to the rewrite of our Trust. We also plan to have him do two more trusts for additional family members.

Trust and wills

Jacob was very personable and professional. We felt comfortable asking our questions and satisfied with his clear answers. He made a complicated transaction seamless. He is an asset to The Drobney Law Offices.

Will, Trust , Advance Health Care Directive

Jake is very professional, knowledgeable, and thorough in explaining everything about our Will, Trust, and Advance Health Care Directive. He saw to it that my husband and I understood every aspect of the state planning. I highly recommend Jake to anyone who is looking for an estate planner.
