Jorgen Stenson
Wills, trusts and probate
Jorgen writes wills and trusts, and helps families settle an estate when the time comes.
Jorgen drafts in short sentences and keeps a list of the words he refuses to use. He is the one who sits with a family after a funeral and explains what a personal representative does, in what order, and by when.
He makes a point of meeting the executor and the people named in a plan, so no one meets the documents for the first time on the worst day.

How Jorgen works
Every plan he writes comes with a one-page summary of who does what, written for the person who will have to carry it out.
After a death, he sends the family a calendar of every deadline in the estate, and a short update each time one passes.
