Many thanks to Simon, Ben, and Stephanie for their thorough job preparing a will package for me. They're very personable, covered everything I needed, their office is lovely, and I finally got to meet Jeb. I would highly recommend them for your legal needs.

Having relocated to Virginia after our retirement, we contacted Simon at Stapleton Elder Law in Charlottesville to prepare a trust to protect our assets and also to prepare new updated wills and other important documents. We were able to watch the video of Simon Stapleton’s presentation regarding asset protection from the comfort of our home and found it extremely helpful in explaining current regulations as well as answering many of our questions. We met with Simon at his office. He is a professional and approachable attorney who explained everything, reviewed our needs, and answered our questions. We returned twice more to sign documents and lastly to pick up the final papers. I have already recommended Simon to a family member and a neighbor. We were extremely pleased with the whole process. Also, I am mobility-impaired, and Simon’s office was ADA accessible which was a definite plus for us.
It is comforting for us to know that Simon and his staff are there for us when we need them.

Simon Stapleton recently helped us update our wills and powers of attorney as well as create a trust account. We chose him because he specializes in Elder Care Law and knew all the ins and outs of Virginia law related to our age group. He was clear and patient in his explanations as we navigated these important documents. In addition, he reviewed and clarified the provisions of our long-term care insurance. His staff was also very organized and helpful. We highly recommend his practice.

My husband & I were looking for asset protection in our senior years. Simon walked us through all the paperwork & explained everything thoroughly. Thank you Simon!

Until I attended a seminar given by Simon Stapleton in late 2019, I believed myself to be in good shape with my Will, Advanced Directive and Revocable Living Trust, which had all been updated in 2017.

However, in this seminar I soon realized that I was vulnerable on many fronts; it was a bit of a shock, because I had not previously understood the difference between the Revocable Trust and the Asset Protection Trust. I was also reminded that having nothing but simple Will, regardless of how inclusive or recently-crafted, is next to useless in any number of situations.

Working with Mr. Stapleton and his very excellent staff was a complete pleasure, and the resulting documents reflect their knowledge & dedication. I highly recommend their services.

Our experience with Stapleton Elder Law was excellent. Meetings were focused and informative with all questions answered in terms we could understand.

All our goals were met in a timely manner and our confidence in Stapleton Elder Law is unequivocal.

I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT SIMON STAPLETON.

He and his office personnel were there for my dad and I as we maneuvered unfamiliar territory ( my mother was progressing in her Alzheimer's diagnosis, and my dad and I cared for her in their home until her death, and my daddy was physically deteriorating). . . That coupled with difficult family members, what to do to protect assets, all of the estate planning necessary. . .
When my father passed away, he had been cynical about so much, but in the end he told me and a neighbor that he had such of peace of mind about the decision to invest in estate planning with Simon.

While losing both of my parents within a year and a half, and having a diagnosis of breast cancer at the same time, a wonderful husband and two middle School age children, this same estate planning allowed me peace of mind. We bought into the Family Plan ( the cost of perhaps a one hour consultation fee, you get a whole year of being able to ask questions and consult with Simon within reason). . . I like to think of it as we are now family members of Simon and his crew. This continues our peace of mind.

My husband and I are doing our own estate planning with Simon. My husband is very careful and sometimes cynical, as my father had been. After attending one of Simon Stapleton's seminars and taking advantage of the free consultation, AND seeing how my parents' trust and estate planning benefited my parents and even benefited us, he is overjoyed about the process of planning with Simon. This is especially important though we are " only" in our fifties as we have two children who will be in college in the next few years, and as we are actually beginning to plan for our retirement years.

Thank you, Stapleton Elder Law!
