Kavesh, Minor & Otis provided a lot of initial information regarding living trusts and estate planning through their webinar. Consultation with Peter Keon helped guide me through the process, my options and create my living trust. I feel more secure knowing I have things in order. I highly recommend Kavesh, Minor & Otis to others who are considering a living trust. Tracy W.

After the passing of both my parents, father in 2018 and mother in 2020, I decided it was time for me to establish a living trust. The living trust webinar was very informative. I contacted the firm to schedule a consultation with Peter Keon. Peter was very thorough and responsive to my needs in creating a living trust. As we were still under COVID-19 limitations at the time, we were able to accomplish everything via phone conversations and email. I highly recommend Kavesh, Minor & Otis to anyone who wants to create a living trust or have a living trust that may need updating. Tracy W.

My experience was great. I signed for a webinar and later I met Peter and he answered all my questions . I highly recommend him for a consultation and planning. Maria A.
