Client Testimonials
I was referred to work with Ryan Raupe and his team. They’ve always been so attentive and professional!
We were very pleased with the service we received when doing our will and trust, advanced directives and power of attorney with Evan’s and Davis. Ryan was very helpful, answered our questions and guided us through the process. Highly recommend them.
Excellent experience with the team at Evans & Davis. They were very helpful and explained the process effectively. I thought it would be a never-ending task but they made it bearable and easy to do. The speed at which they completed the project was record breaking. Thank you!
We enjoyed working with the attorneys from Evans & Davis in preparing our trust, and with getting assets transferred into the trust. They were professional, friendly, and patient as we went through the process.
I love this place! The natural connections between all that they do and their focus on their clients as humans- along with their extensive knowledge and excellent communication- makes them the best!
Evans & Davis and their team delivered to us what we needed in a timely, cost-effective manner. They explained complicated issues in ways that were easy to understand, without compromising on attention to details and nuances.
Highly recommend to anyone seeking professional help on estate matters. Will go back when we have changes and other relevant topics.
Frequently Asked Questions
When Should You Start Estate Planning?
Some major life events can be starting points for estate planning, including getting married, having children, growing your career, buying a home, or retiring.
Should You DIY Your Estate Plan Online?
People have a false sense of security when they do it themselves that it’s done correctly. That can be problematic because issues don’t get discovered until much later in life, when they’re gone, and loved ones discover those issues. The loved ones deal with the headaches that they didn’t know existed.
Is an Estate Plan Necessary for Every Married Couple?
A trust-based estate plan is necessary for all married people because we always want to avoid the court system to make things as easy as possible. We need a seamless transfer of power and a seamless transfer of assets when someone becomes incapacitated or dies.
