I knew I needed a Living Trust to protect my family, but did not relish the amount of work, money and time the endeavor would require. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out about AmeriEstate. They do an amazing job of demystifying the Living Trust process and making it affordable for everyone. This is one of the wisest financial decisions I have have ever made. AmeriEstate delivers what they promise, truly a rare commodity in today’s world.
I am a Successor Trustee for someone who has an AmeriEstate Living Trust. The staff at AmeriEstate has been amazing with helping me make sure that everything is taken care of and in order for when something happens. They are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I will be setting up my own estate plan with AmeriEstate.
My husband was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Thanks to our Trust and some extra effort from AmeriEstate and their attorneys, I was able to qualify my husband for Medi-Cal and protect our estate from the high cost of nursing care.
From the estate planner we first met with, to the attorney who counseled with us, to the friendly and helpful people at AmeriEstate, we have been very pleased with our Trust and the service behind it.
I took the Trust I got through AmeriEstate to my financial planner. He said it was the most comprehensive Trust he had ever seen!
When my mother finally passed away, I counseled with AmeriEstate on settling the estate. They said I would be able to access all of the assets and distribute the estate to the heirs listed in the trust without hiring an attorney or going to court. I didn’t believe them at first, but of course, they were right, and it was very easy!
Our first impression of our Trust was that of a masterpiece in its thoroughness and quality. I thank the staff at AmeriEstate who had a hand in compiling our Trust for their high level of professionalism. We give AmeriEstate 100 stars (not just 5) for their outstanding job and the peace of mind they have provided to us.
I was a novice in “Trustee duties”. But AmeriEstate expertly guided me through the process. They were knowledgeable, patient, and thorough with a positive and caring attitude. If someone has to go through this experience, I can only hope they are fortunate enough to get the assistance of AmeriEstate. They provided exemplary service in helping me work through the process of being a Trustee.
I am impressed with the client service at AmeriEstate. I have requested two amendments in the past three years and they prepared and personally delivered them to me each time in less than a week. They have always been available to answer my questions. The attorney was very patient and helpful in dealing with my complicated situation.
I have used AmeriEstate Legal Plan, Inc. over the last year for my Living Trust and my children’s Living Trust.

I would recommend AmeriEstate to all family and friends. Their staff is easy to talk to and responds quickly to emails or calls.
