...I wasn't going to really write a review, but the number of negative reviews prompted me too. Dad passed away related to the mess this world is going through last year. He had his paperwork in order where I felt a probate could be avoided, but one of the banks simply forced it because it was policy. Whatever. So I started the process. I went to the website and was overwhelmed by their online process. I just couldn't even deal with it while dealing with other things. The online process looked intimidating with all the boxes to fill in. So...I made an appointment with the probate office. The woman who handled the call was...a little rough...but helpful. Appointment made, I showed up, and I met this woman...and realized...well, it's her personality, she handles the phone all day...but she was nice in person. She eventually led me to the surrogate officer my mom and I would be dealing with. Susan was awesome. Gave us some good advise. As I went through this, I realized my only idea of the "probate process" is what Hollywood shows with a lawyer and such. They don't show this part with what the average American goes through. Terms you've heard start making sense, the process starts making sense, etc. It made me think about my future, and how I may re-do things for my family, to avoid...any issues, for lack of better term Mom and I spent a couple of hours there, but it was fine. I understood why. People were friendly in person. The paperwork took a little time to get in order, but no issues in the long run when it arrived completed the following month. It's an unfortunate "rite of passage", but I think the people involved...in person, were helpful, comforting, and I believe, directed you to a smoother process. Good luck.

Doug Reeder is definitely a honorable man. His office is amazing and very professional always. Passionate about what he does.
