Karen Fortier, P.C. prepared my personal will, advance directive as well as guidance on my estate. Karen displayed such empathy and compassion when discussing my mortality and what I wanted to happen when the time came that I was very impressed. Karen has the unique ability to explain all of the legal terms, and there are many, in everyday language so that it was very clear to me. She was so empathetic to explain what the outcome of each choice would be so that I was able to make an informed decision on such important matters. When everything was completed, Karen explained the documents again before my signing and had a witness and notary standing ready at that time. Karen made what could have been an awkward experience into a smooth and easy process leaving me feeling very confident about expressing my last requests.
