“In 2013, my husband and I were looking for someone to help us with the documents for end of life planning, and our neighbors recommended Kristel Patton at Empowered Legacy Planning.  We sought help for documents such as health care proxies, distribution of assets, etc., and Kristel delivered much more than that.  She listened to our story and wishes, explained options and legal concepts in easy to understand terms, and helped us to think through some important decisions.  We recently met again to update our trust and directives; and although a few years had passed, meeting with Kristel again was like reconnecting with an old friend.  She is engaging, warm, and genuinely interested in her clients’ needs.  For anyone who needs estate planning, trust administration, probate, or similar services, we heartily recommend Kristel and her team.  They provide excellent, professional, and compassionate service. ” M.W., Mesa, AZ

“After procrastinating about reviewing my trust which looked as think and wordy as the Pentagon papers, I decided to spend the money and do some updating. My initial appointment with Kristel was enlightening and refreshing. My former experience with a trust attorney seemed uncomfortably formal and rigid. I chose to place my confidence in Kristel because she is very knowledgeable and forthright as well as easy to understand. She uses techniques in getting her points across which helped me in making necessary decisions. Funding the trust, following through and reminding me of my responsibilities got the job done!” P.W., Fountain Hills, AZ

“In the years since meeting Kristel and enrolling in ‘our’ Empowered Legacy Planning Maintenance and Education program, we couldn’t be more pleased. We now have peace of mind knowing that if our personal situation changes and warrant an amendment to our trust, we have immediate access to counseling and the ability to make changes when necessary. Kristel is an absolute delight and it would give us great pleasure to recommend her and her team to anyone seeking to establish a living trust. Kristel, you have our confidence and gratitude! Thank you for your time!” M.T., Chandler, AZ
