Reasons to Have a Trust

    “

    I am writing to express my appreciation for the excellent customer service which I have received from American Family Estate Planners .Charles Leonhardt was the kind of professional person I was looking for to explain the difference between a revocable living trust and a will. He had the knowledge and experience that showed as he explained the difference between the two. He answered all my questions and was patient to make sure he covered everything that was important to me. Everything was done in order and I am very grateful that I don’t have to worry if anything changes in my life. It’s all done and placed in a Revocable Living Trust Portfolio by American Family Estate Planners. I am happy and recommend them highly. I had to add that he has returned my call even after doing this a year ago for questions I had. That’s a plus for me.

    We had a great experience working with American Family Estate Planners. Doing a will and a revocable trust is quite the process no matter whom you work with, and they were with us every single step of the way. I’m one of those people who ask a lot of questions so I can learn and understand new things, and Charles was more than patient when answering every single question and in a timely manner. They also have a really neat business model with many benefits most attorneys offices do not offer. Even with all of that, their prices still saved us a lot of money. I highly recommend them!

    Our experience with American Family Estate Planners (AFEP) under the direction of Daniel and Charles Leonhart far exceeded our expectations. We had an estate plan in place from our time in Missouri which less than satisfactory. Charles through AFEP restored our faith in a process we knew could be better. Through our interactions from start to finish, we experienced the highest degree of professionalism and satisfaction. Most importantly, Charles and the AFEP legal team always returned phone calls, and always showed up on time for discussions as the process of formulating our estate plan moved forward. The promised legal documents were delivered on time as promised. The final delivery and signature phase also included a thorough explanation of exactly what was included in the package.

    I highly recommend Charles Leonhardt and American Family Estate Planners for great service and delivery of a total estate package at a fair

    “Great in every way. This service gives you the peace of mind and freedom we all deserve. Talk about getting your affairs in order, their very detailed-oriented system and methodology is by far, top notch. Their after the sale support is also superb. A good example of our great experience is having met with our financial advisor earlier this week and when he came to estate planning, we were able to say a resounding YES to all his questions regarding a will, medical directive, financial directive, list of accounts, etc, etc. It felt good to be able to answer with such confidence and it was because of the great services of American Family Estate Planners. I strongly suggest you contact them today. You'll be amazed and more importantly, you'll feel well-prepared and organized. It is well worth the money!”
