Estate Planning 75%

An estate plan is much more than planning for distribution of assets upon death. Megan also addresses such matters as guardians for minor children, financial and medical authorizations in the event of incapacity, and final disposition instructions.

75%
Probate 25%

A formal probate process can be intimidating and complicated. If you are the personal representative of someone's Will, Megan will be dedicated to take you through the process step-by-step, making your job as easy as possible.

She Phenomenal

Megan was professional, courtesy and very thorough! Developing a personal Trust and Will can be a tasking, stressful to think about and can be a long process, but Megan continuously stayed in contact with us through the entire process to answer questions and advise us at ever stage which made it so ...much easier to deal with, and her patience made it a stress free experience. She is phenomenal and we highly recommend Megan to represent your interest!

Probate of Estate Containing Real Property

I was very pleased with the excellent legal services that Megan Garner provided to me. I was the appointed administrator of an estate containing real property. She handled everything from the original Petition for Probate through to the Order for Final Discharge after the real property was transfer...red to the heirs. She was always professional, informative, accurate, and timely in making deadlines. She was also a very pleasant person with whom to work. I would use her again and highly recommend her.
