What Our Clients Say

We really strive to meet and exceed our client’s expectations. Sometimes things happen but we will work hard to get back on track!
I came to Empire Estate for her notary services. I did my father's living trust and when she looked at the documents and asked me a few questions, I realized that I did not have all of the documents needed for him to be fully protected. She quickly prepared a living trust for him that would protect his assets. I have referred her to everyone that I know and some people I didn't know.

Thank you Empire Estate. You were very patient with us in getting the documents together in time for us to go on our vacation. My husband and I had been thinking about getting our living trust done but because of Covid we wanted to make sure that our kids would be protected if something happened to us. Thank you thank you thank you.
