Youngquist & Betz

Youngquist & Betz is the most incompetent group of "professionals" I have ever had the displeasure to deal with in my 40-plus years. They drafted my mother's will, so my siblings and I decided to use them for handling her estate after she passed away last September. That was the worst decision. Every document they have drafted for us has had glaring errors; continuous reference throughout to "his" estate and then some random man's name (most likely the last poor soul they used their form letter for). The latest was filing for probate proceedings and they put my sister's name in the Estate of box, then declaring her deceased; she is also listed as the personal representative (executrix) for the estate. I could see this being the mistakes of an obviously incompetent paralegal/assistant, however, Mr. Betz signed off on all of these documents. We are dealing with him from the greater Seattle area and it is a continuous game of phone-tag. My brother-in-law went to meet with them after their latest screw-up was filed with the county clerk, and as expected, Mr. Betz was unavailable. His paralegal/assistant was completely unapologetic and clearly knew the bulk of the errors fell upon her. If you are even remotely considering engaging their services, my advice would be to run away and not look back.
