Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  I was very impressed by Ms. Gansmann’s legal knowledge of elder law and estate planning. She was at all times a very personable, pleasant and accommodating person to meet and work with. I was pleased that my existing revocable trust did not need to be completely redone and instead could be restated which did not require re-funding of accounts and assets. I would highly recommend her.
• Wills
  Kara and her crew were very helpful in updating our existing will & trust. These preparatory documents, like insurance policies, remain untested until they’re needed. These services seemed a bit pricey to me, but hopefully my heirs will benefit from proper prior planning. Thank you.
• Trusts
  Kara and elder legal team provided exceptional legal services when my husband and I enlisted their help in end of life planning (e.g. wills, medical and legal power of attorneys, and a revocable living trust). I appreciated the team’s advice and education, level of detail, and positive interpersonal skills in communicating complex legal terms.
• Power of Attorney
  My wife and I recently enlisted Kara to rewrite/update our wills and healthcare powers of attorney forms. We met for a consultation and were so impressed with her that we hired her on the spot. She did not disappoint. She helped us through the process, patiently explained the legalese, and gave us wonderful advice on how to best manage our estate planning. She was always very prompt to respond to our queries and we were always made to feel at ease. We highly recommend Kara and her firm.
