Yo, Tirzah Umaña, estoy muy entusiasmada para ayudar a mi comunidad Latina en asuntos legales: Planificación Patrimonial, de Derecho Sucesorio, Litigio Sucesiones. Yo entiendo el proceso de no estar preparados para la muerte de un miembro familiar y tener que ir a la corte para afirmar su derecho para su inherencia. Esta es la razón que yo disfruto educar a las personas que necesitan este servicio legal, sobre el proceso testamentario y la importancia de evadir ir a corte para resolver los problemas que de inherencia. Teniendo un testamento no es suficiente cuando se posee una o más propiedades. Quiero ofrecer mi ayuda para nuestra comunidad Latina en estos asuntos legales.
