Estate planning seemed like an overwhelming idea to think about.  “Where would I begin?” or “what do I do?” are the questions that immediately come to mind.   These are the thoughts that made us hesitate to begin.  We received an invitation from Both Hands about estate planning, which we are most thankful for.  This process was so simple and understandable.  There was no judgment, only encouragement the entire time.  We feel really good about what we set up.

This was an extremely easy process.  With both of us working all day, it was a game changer for us to be able to have evening appointments, for the most part, and the attorney’s appointment was later day.  Made it super easy.  This project has been on our to-do list for a while.  We were so happy when this opportunity came to us.

We appreciated the hand-holding throughout the process.  I like lists.  This helps me plan things out.  Knowing the next appointment was coming up and what we needed to have ready, was perfect for us.  Working with the Christian attorney was a breath of fresh air.  It was so good knowing we hold the same values, no questions asked. He certainly is using his amazing gift to give back, through his time and talent.

It was a “God thing” when I had this opportunity for estate planning help.  My parents had finished their planning and were encouraging me to call their attorney.  This opportunity came up with Both Hands and their relationship with PhilanthroCorp and the rest is history.

It’s so great when others have the ability to talk to you about hard topics like this. These professionals have a gift and love to share it. I learned a lot. Our estate specialist was so down-to-earth and easy to have a discussion with.  He encouraged questions/discussion and wanted me to understand.  The PhilanthroCorp staff were all so friendly as appointments were made and reminders given. Very organized. 

Working with the attorney went great. He also is a professional who has the knowledge needed to help make my wishes into legal documents. It was wonderful to know what his reduced fee was early on in the process. 

If you don’t have a plan, you need to get one!

Charles and I shared a preconceived notion that estate planning was only for the very wealthy. Additionally, the uncertainty around the process and steps involved left us feeling paralyzed. We suddenly felt an urgency to take control of our personal estate plan when we started worrying about our parents’. Charles and I realized there was so much more to consider than simply having a will, including charitable trusts and other important aspects of estate planning. PhilanthroCorp allowed us to think about our legacy, especially in terms of charitable giving. I've always worked for non-profits, and seeing the impact of generosity firsthand made me appreciate the importance of including giving in our estate plan. Charles and I were greatly impressed with the work PhilanthroCorp did. They exceeded all of our expectations and made it all so simple.

Before learning about the PhilanthroCorp process, Lori and I saw estate planning as drudgery—something I knew we needed to do but kept putting off. Our last will was written in 2002—22 years ago—so Lori and I felt the need to take action because it was so out of date. When we first came into contact with PhilanthroCorp, Lori and I were very impressed with how professional and straightforward everything seemed. We can both say now, having gone through the process, that everything was indeed just as it seemed, and our experience with PhilanthroCorp was truly fantastic. We would recommend PhilanthroCorp to anyone!

Kari and I didn’t have a trusted professional lined up and didn’t want to entrust something as important as our estate plan to just anyone. We were looking for someone we could trust, someone who would truly listen and guide us through the process in a way that felt personal. What finally motivated us was the way PhilanthroCorp approached the whole process. They offered us the opportunity to move at our own pace, with no pressure, and their team immediately came across as knowledgeable, kind, and trustworthy. That made all the difference. It’s incredibly comforting to know that, should anything happen, our loved ones won’t be left trying to figure things out on their own.

This was a blessing to me in so many ways.  Recently widowed, I needed lots of support and direction. I received so much guidance and definitive direction from the estate specialist we worked with.  This was monumental to me and helped me keep going.

Trust was an incredible reason I didn’t have any fear or anxiety when reaching out to PhilanthroCorp.  It was a huge relief knowing I was in great hands because of the trusted relationship between Both Hands and PhilanthroCorp. I had such reassurance about my decision.  I just wrapped up my estate planning documents and feel well-served.

Katherine and I felt motivated to begin the estate planning process because of our strong connection to Both Hands. We’ve been supporting them for years and have built a strong friendship with the people involved. Because Katherine and I trusted Both Hands, we were confident in moving forward with our estate planning when they first introduced us to PhilanthroCorp. The service PhilanthroCorp delivered was excellent. From start to finish, their team was professional, supportive, and made the process straightforward. Katherine and I were incredibly pleased with how the whole process went.

Before Brian and I connected with PhilanthroCorp, we always thought estate planning would be difficult, mostly because it felt so complicated to figure out exactly what our wishes would be. That uncertainty is what led us to put it off for so long. What finally got us moving was my sister. She had talked to someone who recommended PhilanthroCorp, and at the time, we were trying to help our 80-year-old parents who had never set up any kind of plan. We realized we needed to get things in place for our families—and for ourselves, too. Brian and I both agree we would happily recommend PhilanthroCorp to any of our friends—their team was that efficient and skilled with our estate planning.

We really needed to get our will and estate planning done, and had talked about it many times. We just didn’t know where to get help and how to get started.  We are thankful for this opportunity through Both Hands.  The PhilanthroCorp professionals are great listeners. They have a great way of gathering information that makes it easy for us. Specifically, we needed extra time and encouragement as we considered some of our estate helpers. We are so thankful for this group of people who cared about us, the entire way. It was good to have the accountability of the next phone appointment to keep us on track and help us to the finish line. We are so grateful for the support we received.  This was a super smooth process.

It has been an incredible experience to work with the PhilanthroCorp team and the wonderful services they offer. Their guidance and expertise were priceless.  We had previously had a Will prepared, but nothing like this.  Everyone was so helpful and kind as we worked through each part of the process.  It was refreshing to work alongside other brothers and sisters in Christ, with the same vision and goals in mind, regarding estate planning. We are a busy family with busy schedules. PhilanthroCorp had the flexibility we needed to do a project such as this. They made it doable.
