Law Offices of Robert P. Bergman

I highly recommend Bob Bergman. My sister-in-law recently passed away and I am the Trustee for her Trust. We sold her house and we were in Escrow when the Title company discovered that she had not transferred the Deed on the house back to the Trust after refinancing the property. We were in a 15 day escrow with only a week remaining. I contacted an attorney in the area about filing a Heggstad Petition. Because of the backlog in the courts in our area, she did not think we could get a timely hearing and she referred me to Bob. We had additional complications because we did not know the whereabouts of all of the parties that would need to consent to the Petition. Bob spent over an hour with us for our initial consultation to work on a solution. He also was very accessible to answer the many questions I had and promptly responded to my emails. He was able to file the paperwork and get an Order granting our Petition within a week’s time! We are forever grateful for his experience and competence. He literally saved our sale.

I was unable to close on the sale of a home due to a Title issue. My estate attorney recommended the law firm of Robert Bergman as an expert in the Heggstad petition to avoid the expense and time of probate. Mr Bergman was able to file the petition, which was granted by the court within two weeks of filing. This allowed us to close the sale on the house in a timely manner. The impact of his legal expertise saved significant time and expense for me and my family. I would recommend the Law Offices of Robert P. Bergman without hesitation.

I had a great experience with Robert Bergman aka “Law Bob” this issue I had was with several parcels of land that my mother owned. It was her intention to pass these parcels on to my sister and I, however at the time of her passing they were still in her name not the trust. So a heggstad procedure was required to get a court order from a judge confirming my sister and I were the intended recipients. Robert Bergman was reliable , prompt in communication and over delivered in getting this complicated job approved by a judge faster than we thought possible.

I needed a heggstad immediately to remediate my father’s trust and add his accounts accordingly. I was referred to Robert Bergman to start the heggstad paperwork from another lawyer, as I needed the paperwork done swiftly, they were backlogged and referred me to Mr. Bergman. Bob accomplished the heggstad paperwork tasks very timely and was very helpful from start to finish. I was granted the heggstad and able to add the entirety of assets into my dad’s trust as originally planned. The hard work Bob provided helped tremendously, as there are so many unknowns when dealing with difficult court documents. Mr. Bergman was a kind and helpful estate lawyer and he really understood what I needed and the best way to help me. I recommend him to anyone dealing with any Estate planning issues.
