This firm offers wills, estate planning and financial planning from $99, yet they have charged my friends estate thousands... So far, as their fees are based on a percentage of the estate!
A dear personal friend Victor Spiegel, appointed the Cassady law firm as his trustee while he was alive. He had a simple estate seven beneficiaries each to receive a specific percentage from the proceeds of his bank account and marketable securities. And there was a home that was specifically willed to one beneficiary. A very simple estate.
Victor passed away on May 26. Such as simple estate should have been completed within one or tow days of the statutory waiting period. However no funds were distributed until Februruary 15. The accounting information was minimal and they firm still kept a hold back of proceeds.
I am a Director of a public charity who is one of the beneficiaries. During the process both myself and other beneficairies contoacted the Cassady law firm by telepnove, email and mail. Rude clerical staff and no information were the CONSTANT action of the firm.in addtion I was a personal friendof Victor and had personal property in his home when he passed away. I called the Cassady law firm numerous times, sent email and registered letters to get back my property. No returned communication until january when I got 3 of the 7 items I own that were in the home! To get this I had to file a compalint with the Nevada State Bar Association!
Another beneficiary has terminal cancer and needed funds for medical treatment. Same behavior! No response by the firm as to the estate progress so she could know when she could pay for her cancer treatment.
My friend Victor would "roll over in his grave" if he knew their service was poor and unprofessional!
AGAIN BEWARE and get your estate services elsewhere!
