    - it is important for you and your family that your documentation be in order and we make sure it is

11. Estate Administration
    - if it is straight forward - because the Estate Planning was done before - we organize you and you do it on your own. If you need more intensive help we do only what you want us to do and you do the rest. We’ll do our best to ensure this difficult time is as stress-free as possible. Our goal is always to ensure that there are no family arguments and that the estate funds end up with the beneficiaries - not the government or the lawyers
12. General Matters
    - if you need notarial copies, affidavits, passports guaranteed (as long as you are clients of the office) we can help you.
13. Referrals
    - if we can’t help you, because we can’t be experts in everything, we will refer you to an expert who can help. Just call the office for a referral.
