Zach came highly recommended to me and now I know why. Zach and Gold Leaf Estate Panning were amazing to work with. Zach is very kind, patient and knowledgeable. The process was really well thought out and executed. I cannot recommend Zach strongly enough for anyone considering a trust or other estate planning. Matt M.Dan LyddyJanuary 22, 2024I found Zach and Gold Leaf Estate Planning through these 5-star reviews and they are all accurate. At our first meeting he told us what would happen in handling my mother-in law’s estate and he followed it up with documents that were easy to follow. He let me handle the parts I was comfortable with and he was there for the parts that I was more comfortable with him handling. Zach kept us on track and we were able to avoid any surprises thanks to his guidance. Thanks again Zach for all your help!Bryce HotzlerJanuary 22, 2024Zach and the Gold Leaf Team did an excellent job educating us and executing the documents needed for us to set up a Revocable Trust.

I would highly recommend the Gold Leaf Estate Planning, LLC group to anyone in need of the services they offer.Ken NickellJanuary 9, 2024I did some research and scanned the Google reviews before making an appointment with Zach. The reviews are accurate - no need to look further, you’ve found the right firm to plan your estate.
