Trust and Estate Planning

Mr. Wiseman did an excellent job helping my husband and I setup our trust and estate planning. At our first meeting He explained everything very thoroughly and put everything into terms that we could easily understand. We provided him with information and he drafted our documents very quickly. We wer...e very pleased, all of the information in our documents was spot on. He provided us with drafts of our documents before we met again for our follow-up. Then our second meeting he again thoroughly explained the documents and answered our questions. He was able to make any updates needed and then we signed all of the documents and he provided them to us in a binder with a lot of additional information. Cheat sheets and explanations, and many other documents to help us organize our estate. He also said that we could call him and ask questions anytime in the future. I would highly recommend his services.

Set-up of Will & Trust

Josh helped to set up a Will & Trust for our family. He listened to our concerns, asked questions and provided recommendations in structuring the distribution of our estate to our children upon our deaths. He was very thorough in explaining what each document meant and what services the firm will p...rovide to us. It is reassuring to know that we have a plan in place that expresses our future healthcare and financial directives; and that we have a knowledgeable person to assist our family upon our passing.

Joshua Wiseman was an absolute pleasure to work with as we redid our trust and will. It was obvious that he was very knowledgeable and loved working with people in this field. He was extremely professional however also very approachable. A true joy to work with.

Talented in estate planning

Josh has been great working on our current trust and wills and getting them compliant with the laws of the new state I just moved to. He easily explains next steps and helps to understand the process of how wealth transfers. Equally important is his knowledge in financial powers of attorney and healt...hcare powers of attorney and HIPPA releases which can easily be overlooked. Thanks Josh!

Excellent Estate Plan Attorney

I had been putting off doing an estate plan for several years and was really dreading the process. However, a colleague referred me to Attorney Wiseman and after meeting him, I couldn't believe I had waited so long to do something so important. Josh made the process easy to go through and took a lot ...of time making sure I understood the documents I was signing. He really put me at ease discussing something I was initially uncomfortable with. I had several questions for him and he was always very attentive to my emails and phone calls. I can't say enough about this young lawyer - he was more professional and instilled more confidence than other attorneys I have worked with in the past.
