Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Is this Copeland & Tierman?

Both Mr. Tierman and Ms. Copeland retired over the last few years. Mr. Ditter was the remaining partner at the firm and as such, he absorbed the remainder of clients from Copeland & Tierman. He still does the same type of work (Estate Planning, Trust Administration, Probate, Elderlaw) and if you were a former client of Jeff Tierman or Judith Copeland, we most likely have your file from Copeland & Tierman and we would be happy to assist you with any future Estate Planning needs.

2. What do I need to bring to my appointment?

We will email you prior to your appointment if there is anything specific to your case that we need you to bring.
