Testimonials

I had no idea what to do or who to contact when an estranged family member died. So I did what people do these days and went online and found American Wills & Estates. Lloyd confidently and capably guided me through the process of settling the estate of my family member. He communicated effectively throughout the process and let me know what to expect and the general time frame. I was shocked -- and pleased -- that during our first meeting, he drove us from his office to the prothonotary to file papers naming me as the executor. That really helped me feel like he didn't shilly shally about and wanted to get things moving -- which was a huge relief since I live out of town. Although the estate was a relatively simple one, it was a huge deal to me so having a professional guiding me through the settlement process was very comforting. I am grateful to Lloyd for his assistance. Five stars and two thumbs-up -- thank you, Lloyd.
