“My wife and I hired Bill Gaggos to prepare two trusts for us. We are very satisfied with the trusts he designed and developed. He started us off with two of his publications which explained the process and described how trusts work. We met with Bill, who is very personable, and explained our needs. He prepared our documents, explained them in detail for us, and even prepared several other documents which we hadn't thought of but are of great value to us. Each document is unique to our situation. Bill did not use boilerplate paragraphs taken from other documents. He is exceptionally creative. Bill is also excellent at explaining everything in simple straightforward language and is easy to understand. Another attorney reviewed our land trust as it pertained to out of state property and commented that our trust was one of the best drafted ones he had ever seen. This unsolicited feedback from another attorney was enough to convince us that we made the right decision in hiring Bill. Bill’s fees were reasonable and he was always available to answer our questions and talk with us on a timely basis (very important to my wife and I). I have since recommended Bill to several friends and would not hesitate to recommend Bill to anyone!”

All of the documents were "me" specific rather than just standard forms. I have revised the documents twice since the originals with the same warm professionalism exhibited by him.

After meeting and discussing our particular family needs, Bill advised us on a will and trust that would work best for us. After 15 years together, we recently went back to have our trust and will updated to reflect our changes in family and finances. We were very satisfied with the solutions he presented to us and the ease and timeliness with which it was done.

“I strongly recommend William Gaggos. I had a modest estate settlement problem that involved property. Even though I was involved only as the husband of one of the four siblings I was named in the will. For twenty five (25) years the executor of the estate refused to settle the estate. After engaging three different lawyers a friend recommended William Gaggos. I hired him. He worked swiftly and firmly, explaining our options at every step, together with his legal opinion. His extensive experience in this discipline of law was obvious to me and the opposition. They crumbled and the case (removal of the executor, new executor appointed, property correctly divided between all parties) was settled out of court.”

“We were given Mr. Gaggos' name from our friend, who is also our financial advisor, so we knew we would be in good hands before our first meeting. We have been meaning to put together our estate and our will for a few years but never got around to doing it. We meet with him and everything was an absolute breeze. The first visit was in the office to gather the basic information of assets and who we wanted to appoint to handle our estate, our child, etc. Mr. Gaggos brought up several good ideas that we had never thought of due to his years of experience. Following our meeting, he sent us an email with access to an online tool where you review the documents, and can add comments, change things, etc. We had a final meeting in the office to sign all the necessary paperwork and all went smoothly. If you are looking for someone to assist with the task of your Will as well as a Trust, or anything related to your estate, then Gaggos is your guy.”

We had young children, a home and other assets at the time so there was much to consider when establishing out Trust and Will He was extremely valuable in providing a road map and posing a variety of questions/scenarios as we made decisions regarding Trust executorship, medical POA and guardianship for our kids. He made several other points we might want to consider when developing our estate plan.
