Questions

What estate planning documents do I really need?

How does your probate assistance work?

We guide executors through required court filings, asset gathering, creditor notifications, and distribution processes. Our services include explaining trustee responsibilities and preparing all necessary legal documentation for estate settlement.

Do you work with same-sex couples?

Nicole is a Phoenix estate planning attorney in your review. My wife, Marilyn, and I recently signed our Estate Planning documents with Nicole's team in November. The process couldn't have been easier. We were able to complete nearly all of the documentation online and only needed to visit Nicole's office for the final document signing. We highly recommend her for your Estate Planning needs.

Nicole prepared a comprehensive estate/trust plan for me. Easy, thorough, understandable, and a great value. Highly recommend Nicole for your estate planning needs! Particularly helpful was her website and video instructions/explanations of each step and document.

I started this estate plan journey blindly with very minimal knowledge. My grandmother needed help preparing her estate plan and I went to work on google praying God would lead me to a honest, knowledgeable and patient attorney to guide us through this process. We absolutely were sooo impressed by the dynamic Team at Nicoles Firm, her mother and assistant were very down to earth and through. Nicole herself is very patient and explains things until you get it always very responsive. God Bless you all and Thank you !!
