Curran Estate prepared an Estate planning portfolio for my husband and I. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They took the time to answer any questions and everything was done in a timely and professional manner.

Ann ThielkeMarch 7, 2024.This law firm helped our family with a complicated situation of one parent in a nursing facility and the other parent living at home. Thank you so much for your help and compassion..
MaidmariondesignJanuary 6, 2024.I can not say enough about how thankful my brother and I are for the help we have received from Susan, Lois and Sean for our elderly Aunt. When we first met with them, our Aunt was in the process of moving from an independent living situation into personal care. To our dismay, the care she received after this move was extremely inadequate and bordered on neglect. Susan spent hours helping us find and set up appointments with several other personal care facilities and we were able to move her within a week and a half. Once she was settled in, Lois worked with our Aunt to make sure her will and living will were up to date. Susan and Lois were so caring and patient with both our Aunt and ourselves, they made a very stressful situation much easier to handle. Sean has also been a huge help as we navigate selling our Aunt's property. We have been extremely satisfied with all aspects of guidance and services provided for the care of our Aunt.
Tammy TaylorDecember 12, 2023.Recently, I had some concerns around elder law and Sean walked me through of all them, in detail, and helped me understand what to expect in coping with the cost of providing care to an aging parent. The matter was handled with the utmost empathy and professionalism and I would highly recommend their offices to anyone.
Olivia JaindlDecember 6, 2023.I cannot express how grateful I am to Rose and Angela for all of their hard work during the estate/probate process! They were so diligent yet caring, professional yet approachable. They were always there for questions - of which there were many - and concerns. This is the team of wonderful ladies you need to help with your estate planning and probate - HIGHLY recommend them!
