We scheduled an appointment with Keats Boyd III after attending a free informational seminar which demonstrated his team’s depth of knowledge and experience in estate planning. Keats explained the law, risks and benefits of various estate plans for both our personal and business needs. No doubt, he was totally focused on our best interest. As we were preparing for an international trip, Keats and his team expeditiously prepared our documents before our departure. Everyone was extremely helpful during the entire process and we feel confident that we have a sensible and comprehensive estate plan. Highly recommend Boyd & Boyd.

We have worked with Keats for the last 18 years. He has helped us establish and understand the trusts we need to ensure the best for our sons, and has kept us updated and informed about the changing tax laws and guidelines. His complimentary review sessions have helped us to keep up to date as well. He has been kind, helpful, respectful, and, most importantly, completely knowledgeable about the changing estate planning world. We highly recommend him and his firm.

I first went to the three day seminar last year. I felt very overwhelmed and lost. After attending again this year, I feel much more confident in my trust decisions. Keats and Wendy have been very kind, supportive and caring during this difficult decision. I highly recommend Boyd & Boyd.

I just sat through 3 days of seminars Boyd & Boyd offers to help my parents. I was pleasantly surprised at the details Keats went into each day. Very thorough presentations. Took time to answer all questions. Highly recommend.

Boyd & Boyd takes the time to walk you through the entire process of creating the trust that is best for you. They also have the ability to simply explain some very complicated issues- which gives you peace of mind.

Their seminars are timely and very educational with regards to tax law and estate changes that have or about to take place. I highly recommend Boyd & Boyd.
