Kids? Protect Assets? Philanthropy? – Your Unique Why

Everyone comes to their planning with a different driving motivation. “‘Many people focus on estate planning with regard to who will take care of the kids,’ [Sharon DeVaney] said. ‘But the responsibility of taking care of older parents and changes associated with divorce can be just as important as motivators.’”

Attorneys Have Been Failing for Decades…

The View from 2 1/2 Feet: A One Meeting Kinda Day

Posted in Just For Fun, Who We Are by Tracey Ingle on February 10, 2015

Since I joined Ingle Law, several people have asked what I, a mere canine, could possibly do all day in a law office. There has been a scandalous suggestion that since I don’t possess opposable thumbs, I couldn’t possibly contribute in any useful way. I asked The Lady if I could respond to these allegations.

Posted in Estate Planning, Legal Stuff for Parents with Kids by Tracey Ingle on November 25, 2014

Have you ever watched Cesar Milan work with dogs with obsessive behavior? He frequently uses “Tsst” to distract and calm the animal. It also works with cats. I’ve frequently thought we should do that to and for each other when we get stuck in a mental loop that keeps us spinning our wheels. You know […]

I want to thank you for your help with my perplexing situation back in January. I'm so happy that I thought to tell the woman who called that I would to talk with my lawyer.

On behalf of [our Church], I would like to extend a sincere "Thank you!" for your participation in the health fair. Not only did you give a very informative and helpful presentation, but you also extended yourself and helped with the projector as well as helping the other presenters get set up. All above and beyond the call of duty, but I am very grateful for all of your assistance and expertise. There was much learned after actually hosting this type of venue for the first time. I hope that if we run this type of event next year that you would like to be involved.
S.M., Newton, Mass.
Thank you again for all your excellent work on my Dad's probate estate.
S. & J. W., Southborough, Mass.

There were several things that were beneficial in working with Attorney Ingle including her ability to simplify complicated concepts so the average person could understand them and an ability to put the client at ease when discussing private, personal issues. She was willing to explain things without making me feel ignorant. We now have the peace of mind in knowing that we have put out finances in order in a manner that will hopefully be beneficial to not only us but our children as well.
L.B., Framingham, Mass.
At first I was reluctant to be interviewed for my Legacy Story but thank you for doing it. I listened with interest and tears. A great legacy, so thanks again.
S.M., Newton, Mass.

Attorney Ingle was fearless in taking control and although considerate and attentive to my concerns, she let me know when my thinking was incorrect or not useful. I felt at ease and confident in her knowledge of law and organization skills. While her rates may appear relatively high, her trustworthiness, efficiency and disinclination to waste time in frivolous litigation actually saved money. Having worked with several attorneys when this same "opponent" was involved, this experience was 100% calmer for me while my "opponent" remained frustrated.
R.S., Framingham, Mass.

I like that you were autonomous and took a load off of my mind and to do list. My aunt's estate was a confused mess. You dug through the piles of paperwork and brought order to it. I felt that I was supported by a team. You guys did a great job with a tough estate. I never worried about hot it was being handled.
R.H., Framingham, Mass.

I liked the professional and warm atmosphere of the firm. I felt comfortable that my needs were being considered. I've worked with other attorneys before, but working with Ingle Law was more personal. Thank you.
