Very impressed

We had to review and rewrite our trust. Mr. Smith explained all the recent changes in law, had great suggestions and went over each section. We gave them very short time as we were going overseas and everything was completed and ready for us to sign before the departure, including the deeds to our ho...mes. We do highly recommend the services of Jacob Smith. We feel his military background is a great asset in his current job.

This was our initial meeting with Mr. Smith as we were updating our family trust. Out meeting was timely and Mr. Smith was thoroughly prepared for the process. He reviewed all the documents and explained changes and answered all our questions in a friendly and knowledgeable manner.

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.

Living Trust/Living Will

We needed to revise our Living Trust in accordance with the 2015 changes. Jacob was courteous and professional and we felt at complete ease asking questions. He was thorough in his explanations and prompt with follow up. His knowledge of California law was very apparent. We appreciated his understand...ing and connection to military life as well.
