How to pick an Executor is an important question. The Executor “executes” your plan. You may have the best possible Will and Estate Plan, but if the person you put in charge of implementing your system fails to follow your terms, the entire well-thought-out plan can crumble into expensive litigation.

"I worked for Peter Klenk for 4 wonderful years. I can’t speak highly enough of everyone at the firm. Everyone truly cares about their clients and has a strong sense of responsibility to get things done right. I would highly recommend Klenk Law!"
Flora Novick
The Klenk team smoothly helped my family with the often thick and cumbersome estate planning documents. We would recommend them for this type of work! Thank you, Klenk Law!
I highly recommend this firm. Jackie was a pleasure to work with. I left there’s well educated and had all my questions answered.
I can't tell you how satisfied I am with this law firm. They were competent and helped me with a very difficult situation. They got the job done in a timely fashion and I am so happy I found them. If you find yourself in a difficult and contentious probate situation I highly recommend this firm. There is just no way I could have had this positive outcome without them. I worked with 2 different lawyers prior to hiring them and neither of them could get the job done like Klenk. Daniella Horn was a pleasure to work with and highly competent.
We came to this firm based because of the online reviews we read and were not disappointed. Peter and the staff were a pleasure to work with - Peter was friendly, knowledgeable and patient with all our questions and the office staff were extremely responsive and efficient with all the scheduling and follow up needed to get us ready for the signing. We also like that all documents are housed in a portal that is easily accessible. Thank you to Peter and the team for helping us cross 'update estate planning documents' off our list.
Been a long term customer of Klenk Law. Wills and Trusts are so important and that is their strength! They are hyper responsive to any question you may have, and you are always treated well. I feel like a part of their family when there. I feel very valued as well. Give them a try!
