Flaccus Law

Karl and his team really know the ins and outs of Estates Trust and Wills. I would highly recommend Flaccus Law!

Karl was kind, thoughtful, and thorough. He did a great job on our wills, durable powers of attorney, and health care directives. Additionally, he gave us some basic-level counsel on a new LLC and referred us to a specialist colleague to complete that process for us. Most appreciated by us was his ability to explain required paperwork legalese in plain English. We recommend him wholeheartedly and without reservation.

Strongly Endorse! Karl was recommended by fellow medical providers and I am personally aware of his charity work and deep commitment to helping others. A man with both intellect and finesse. One of the best elder attorneys in the state.

Karl Flaccus was first my mother's attorney and then guided me through the process of probate and estate administration after her passing. I can't imagine having a better experience during the most difficult of times. Karl was always kind and respectful toward my mother as he was also with my brothers and me. In my role as executor, he patiently explained and guided me through every step of the process. I was extremely satisfied and I heartily recommend his services to others.

I have used Karl Flaccus on 2 occasions. In 2009 my elderly Mother needed to update her Will and designate a Power of Attorney. Karl was recommended by her investment advisor. We met Karl at his office and he was both professional and personable. He asked many questions and made sure my Mother understood the ramifications for each of her requests in the Will. Karl also made sure it was my Mother speaking her desires and not me. At first this was awkward for me because I had been handling all my Mother's financial and health affairs and typically spoke on her behalf. I quickly came to appreciate the wisdom and appropriateness of his approach. He also educated me on the Probate process in case, when the time came, I decided to handle the Probate of the Will myself. This year I engaged Karl to update my will and establish a Power of Attorney for both my wife and me. He exhibited the same professionalism and expertise I remembered from 2009. Karl asked the same types of questions as 2009 and ensured he understood our reasoning behind all our requests. On both occasions Karl spent a great deal of time understanding our desires an making sure they were represented in the documents. I would not hesitant to use him again or recommend him to others.

Flaccus law walked me through the estate process after A family death this last year. He gave thorough direction on how the process worked and each step was handled timely and professionally. I wanted to do as much leg work as I could to save on attorney costs and he supported that and dealt only with the legal/court portions necessary to complete probate and close estate successfully. Would work with Karl in the future if needed.

Karl Flaccus provided thorough and informed advice when setting up our wills and also when executing the wills after my mother's and my husband's deaths. He was very kind and considerate in handling such sensitive matters. His integrity is unquestionable. I have known Karl for nearly 30 years and would never hesitate to rely on his professionalism and knowledge. I recommend him highly as an attorney and a human being.

I have shared office space with Karl Flaccus since 2009, and I have always been impressed with his kindness, intelligence, integrity, and skills as an attorney. I have referred multiple people to him, including my neighbors, and I will continue to do. He is an excellent attorney who is extremely knowledgeable about the law. He works very hard for his clients. He is also an exceptionally good person.

Do your homework before entrusting your loved one’s estate or probate to be managed by Karl. If there is any sort of family dynamics, disfunction or dispute, keep looking. I had deep concerns regarding his competence and ethical decisions after several "red lights" and later asked the WSBA for assistance. That was a joke. Here nor there, if you are ok with a lawyer doing the following actions, then you are forewarned. 1. … shared confidential court documents meant for another client and their family’s dispute over the estate/probate with me; not once, but twice. 2. … dismiss/ignore unpaid benefits of the estate (e.g. Social Security Death Benefit of $255 and the $300 provided by the VA to use toward “funeral expenses”). 3. … send only 1 final itemized invoice for over $20,000 in fees only after it was requested over 15 months of billing. 4. … not verify the contents or value of a 50/50 estate distribution and sign a legal court document stating otherwise, when his office staff even said that the inventory was not accurate. 5. … change his mind on how to handle the estate distribution because the other party disagreed. 6. … misplace deceased sentimental items. You have been warned.
