C. We’re so kind and understanding. Scott walked me through each step of my Estate Planning/Trust process , until I completely understood each page before I signed. Flagged off pages that needed to be signed by family members (with witnesses) just put them back here in the binder. They also added a checklist of what needs to be done for TRUST FUNDING INSTRUCTIONS The little things that I would not think of. Scott and Sara truly stepped up for me when I needed them.
