Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I helped a senior widowed lady with her complex investments and updating her will. When we finished her accounts were simplified and consolidated. Her beneficiaries were reviewed, added and updated. All her assets will transfer to the correct heirs without any difficulty for the heirs and withour any probate necessary. She was so happy and at peace with the result.
