Andrea set up a will, health care directives and a trust for the family. She spent the time explaining the positives and negatives of the process. We felt comfortable with her and she made us feel at ease during this process. I highly recommend her and will be using her for any other attorney needs I might have.

JanetGoogle Review 2020

Let me start by saying that I normally am not one to write a review. But Andrea Jakob help and expertise definitely deserve high praise! She was so helpful in getting my wife and my wills and trust set up. Something that we really appreciated was just how down to earth she was. There was absolutely no stuffiness in her manner. In fact, after our first couple of visits, I pretty much regarded her as a very knowledgeable friend. She really knows her business and helped us feel comfortable when speaking with her. I appreciated that she was more than willing to explained something to me more than once and helped to clarify any questions I had. My wife and I are very happy and impressed with her work and dedication. We strongly recommend her to any one seeking help with setting up their wills and trusts.

LS.Google Review 2019

Andrea helped my mum with an estate planning issue. She made us feel welcome the moment we walked in. There was no excessive legalese and Andrea just spoke with us as if we had been friends. We were pleasantly surprised at how reasonable her fee was for the comprehensive service she provided us with. We would not hesitate in recommending Andrea L. Jakob. We are happy to have found her and in the future she will be our first phone call when we need legal help. Brian in Sunrise, FL.

Andrea was absolutely wonderful in helping set up my parents' estate as they were going through several health issues. ... She accommodated my family as I was in town for only a few days to help my parents and she made sure that the entire estate planning process was completed. Her caring and personable attitude made this difficult time a little easier. She even spent additional time answering follow up questions over several different phone calls. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone seeking a thoughtful professional estate attorney who truly cares about the families she works with.read more

Andrea Jakob was great in helping us work through our health care surrogacy, will and trust. Ours was well overdue, we... hadn't done our will since our children were small and now they have their own children. She helped us think through every aspect. She listened to our ideas, gave us her opinion and recommendations and created what was best for us and our family. Andrea is smart, very knowledgeable about estate planning, she is funny and quite personable. She truly wants to do what is best for you at the time you are with her and for the future. We highly recommend her!read more

It has been a pleasure working with Andrea. From the very beginning, she made it comfortable and relatively easy to... talk about challenging topics such as wills, estates, and trusts. She laid out the plan in an organized and friendly manner, explaining things "at my level" so that I could understand, and I never felt rushed. Not only is she very smart and professional, she also has a warm customer service approach, taking care to offer treats such as hot tea. I recommend her highly and I look forward to our continued relationship.read more

Single? You Still Need an Estate Plan

Estate planning is just as important for single people as it is for couples and families. Estate planning allows you to ensure that your property will go to the people you want, in the way you want, and when you want. If you do not have an estate plan, the state will decide who gets your property and who will make decisions for you should you become incapacitated, and these aren’t necessarily the choices you would have wanted. Contact me at 954-515-0101 to find out what estate planning documents you need to assure your wishes will be carried out and those you care about will be protected.
