A great will writing service. We were so pleased to have it all done in one appointment.
Thank you for your efficient and friendly service.
I found dealing with Jessica to be very helpful and felt very comfortable with her a compliment to your company.
Jessica interviewed me at your office regarding the establishment of my will and I was very pleased with the outcome. Everything I wanted incorporated in my will was done in a in a correct, legal manner and to my satisfaction. A few points I had overlooked were gone into and added. I came away after only one session with what I wanted with nothing more to be done. In my opinion the charge made for services was reasonable.
I found your company to be extremely efficient and professional, and it was very easy to make contact and obtain information. Booking an appointment via the website was simple and the booking was followed up with a detailed list of all that was needed for the appointment. Your lawyer, Jennifer, was professional knowledgeable and helpful. The cost was very reasonable and I have recommended your company to two friends today.
Prompt, very efficient service received in preparing our wills. Jennifer was very easy to talk with and explained everything in detail which made the process very smooth. Birman & Ride were recommended by friends and I would not hesitate in continuing that recommendation.
Excellent on every front.
Great service. Prompt response time. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Jennifer was very helpful for us in making our will.
Very friendly, helpful and professional. Jennifer was very helpful and was most willing to answer any question related to the legal process, plus assisting me in completing the required documents.
I thought the service and Jessica was very good and I would recommend to others.
Found Jennifer Nguyen to be very professional and helpful. She answered all our questions and explained everything to us in a clear manner.
Don’t put it off any longer.
It may sound like a silly question. We all know a Will when we see one. They’re usually of fairly standard appearance – headed Last Will and Testament and signed by the will-maker and two witnesses. But all may not be as it seems. A case in point is the home-made Will of Kylie Smith (not her real name), that reads as follows: LAST WILL OF KYLIE SMITH I GIVE MY SON MICHAEL SMITH THE POWER TO DISPOSE OF MY POSSESSIONS PRIOR TO MY DEATH. [SIGNED BY K SMITH IN THE PRESENCE OF TWO WITNESSES] An essential requirement for a Will is that it be testamentary – meaning that it takes effect on the death of the will-maker and not until death. Kylie Smith’s “Will” took effect at the time she signed it (prior to her death) and not on her death. It is therefore not testamentary and not a valid Will. It is necessary to look beyond the heading and the signatures to determine whether a document is in fact a Will.
We have introduced measures to ensure the safety of our team, clients and the community. All of our usual services will continue, with modified delivery in some situations.
Under the terms of the simple Will your executor takes charge of the assets of your estate, pays your creditors and forthwith divides the net estate among your beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of your Will.
