I never truly understood the need for estate planning and a family trust until my mother passed away in March 2025. She made the wonderful choice of choosing Natalia to create her (Parents Family Trust) and when it came time for my brother and I to begin the process of going through her wishes and through the legalities of the trust, Natalia guided us flawlessly and with compassion through the whole process. She was amazing to work with and made the difficult event of my mother passing much easier for us. We were able to divide her assets, transfer titles of homes and navigate my mother’s financial accounts and holdings with ease. The process was so smooth and painless that my wife and I quickly enlisted Natalia‘s talent to create our own Family Trust and Estate Plan. We completed that a few months ago and it was an amazingly positive experience to have a lawyer take so much care with us through those difficult times. I recommend Natalia Vander Laan without reservation for any of the legal services that she provides. Natalia is thorough, extremely knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with.
