Hired Attorney Sibylle Grebe

A very long overdue thank you to Sibylle Grebe and Lorenzo Stoller for taking control of a seemingly out-of-control situation during the early days of Covid in 2020 in protecting my father and his estate from his deceased wife's children. While Sibylle was unable to represent my dad due to capacity issues, she was able to represent me. Sibylle had me move quickly to find the original trust documents which had likely been drafted without much input from my father a few years earlier, floating everything from making sure I had co-power of attorney and co-trustee powers on all the documents to considering a conservatorship. Lorenzo then took over the case and seamlessly helped draft new documents that protected my father and helped me keep oversight over his wife's children. My dad is happy and healthy and now resides with me in Washington state. I can't thank Sibylle and her team enough.

My wife and I are in our early 70ies and felt it was high time to get our personal affairs in order and arrange for an Estate Plan, i.e., a Living Trust, Will, Health Care Directive, and so on. In one of our internet searches, we came across a linked headline for The Probate House. After a short phone call and a friendly invitation for a personal consultation, we met with Sibylle Grebe the firm’s Principal. Sibylle took a genuine interest in our story (everyone has a story at that age) and shared some of her own life experiences with us. She gave us valuable advice and encouraged us to take our time to sort things out. Over the course of several months, we made some changes, asked many questions, and at no time we felt hurried or pushed to make up our minds. Over the entire time communication with Sibylle and her staff, especially Cindy Kelso her Paralegal was excellent, prompt, and cordial. “THANK YOU” Sibylle and Staff for your service and for putting our minds at ease!

I highly recommend this firm to handle your estate needs. Sibylle, Lorenzo and their dedicated staff are simply as good as you'll ever find to handle these matters. They are friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, informative and have your best interest at heart. Estates and trusts can get complicated and messy. You will need proficient attorneys to navigate this process to successful completion. After talking with a few other attorneys, it was clear that The Probate House was by far the most qualified firm to hire. Give them a call today, you'll be glad you did!!

My husband and I had an excellent experience working with Sibylle Grebe and her team. Our Declaration of Trust, DPA, AHCD and Will documents are beautifully comprehensive, and I have full confidence that our estate and daughter will be taken care of when the time comes. We worked with Sibylle, helping our Aunt with her Estate Planning years ago and we returned to work with Sibylle for own planning documents. This means we have known her for a long time and we trust her fully! She is direct and tough minded, and we embrace her advice because she understands human nature, and our life challenges.

Quote for the work I had done was within the going rates. The difference is the quality of the work and the advice she has to offer. Whenever I finish a job with her, I am always comfortable with the final product

Working with Ms. Grebe from The Probate House on my mother’s Trust was a great experience. Ms. Grebe explained items to my mother and spoke to her about her wishes for her estate planning. She was considerate of privacy, timeliness in appointments, and is very knowledgeable about what she does. Her professionalism made a process which no one like to think about a pleasure to plan.

Well satisfied with probate service. I had to become administrator of an estate that was 3000 miles from me. There was no will, 30 plus heirs and 2 tenants that did not want to vacate the housing unit. Everything was accomplished via phone and electronic correspondence, I never had to travel to the estate location. The entire group at this firm are very professional and responsive to their clients. A special thank you to my lawyer and paralegal for their guideance and keeping me informed along the way. A well organized group that says what they will do and then does it.
