What our clients say

I recently had my will and Power of Attorneys compiled by Sheredyn and in the past, by Renee. Both Sheredyn and Renee are the nicest and most efficient people to deal with. For as long as they are in business, I would go no where else. I thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

We have used Novum a number of times and we will keep going back to them due to their fabulous customer service, their understanding and kindness. But not only that, they explain all the legal lingo clearly and ensure you understand. Absolutely would not go to anyone else ever again!

We wish to sincerely thank Sheredyn for the warm and professional way she guided us through a complex will and property title change, She was always available for any queries or concerns throughout the process and we are so appreciative of the way in which she helped us through it. We have no hesitation in highly recommending the Novum group.

We wish to thank Novum for their great work updating our family's Will & Power of Attorney documentation. For our family there were some complex issues that were difficult to address. We appreciate Renee's patient, articulate & helpful mannerr, & taking the extra time to get everything done perfectly.

Hired Novum to try to solve for a complex family succession issues. Renee was very empathetic, consultative and super knowledgeable in her approach. She provided us with a solution framework that was fair and very robust in terms of future proofing the decision for unexpected factors. Highly recommended and great value service.
