Curt and his team know how to plan and execute an estate plan. My husband and I thought we had done this several years ago and after attending his workshop we realized the other attorney had not funded anything in our estate plan which meant it was rather useless. Thanks for Curt and his team we are comforted to know our heirs and our wishes will be taken care of when we are gone.

A through and detailed approach to estate planning. Curt and his staff listened to our concerns and explained legal issues related to death and approaching death. We are relieved and happy with the results. The process itself forces you to examine various issues in a complete and thoughtful manner.

I searched for years for an Estate Planning lawyer. I finally decided to make the 2 hour drive for Curt's services. It has been an excellent decision. Everyone in the office ensures that I do my Estate Planning correctly. Knowing exactly how much this would cost upfront is very freeing and the value was more than I expected. I helped my parents use an hourly pay lawyer for their estate planning, It cost just as much and was much less thorough than my plan.

Curt Ferguson's law firm has been a pleasure to work with. Curt Sam and the staff have that small town touch with a professional demeanor. The Estate Planning Center has been a great group of people to work with.

This firm probably provides the most well thought out, complete estate planning service available anywhere.It is not a quick one-shot deal.The process involves many hours of consultation over several months. Nor does it stop when the plan is finished. Yearly follow up sessions keep the plan current. Changes in the laws are automatically added and finally, when the plan is executed their fees are significantly lower than the standard charges from ordinary law firms.

Curt Ferguson is obviously an expert in all aspects of Estate Planning. He also realizes that one must keep the plan current to be successful. Curt communicates complicated, and sometimes sensitive legal information in a manner that is easily understood. It is obvious that he values as an individual client, and wants to provide the best possible service.
His office is always available and even though we live in Indiana his complete staff recognizes us, and remembers our personal goals.

The reasons why Curt Ferguson is incredibly popular with large and small farming operations....he excells at advance planning and advance thinking. Curt was able to tie his roots in farming to his love for creative problem solving and develop a firm that specializes in estate planning. I followed his monthly articles in Prairie Farmer for many years until deciding it was time to go through the estate planning process. You will not be dissapointed. You will be educated and kept up to date.

Curt and his entire staff have a thorough & complete process all the way through. We never felt awkward or overwhelmed. Their estate planning takes time and commitment, but as we did our part we were never left hanging. Every phone call answered, question addressed, etc. Our other advisors--CPA, bank, etc. spoke with them and were satisfied as well.The Estate Planning Center was willing to help us take a big-picture approach to our legal entities and how we can protect them now and for future.
