“Their attention to detail, their performance and their professionalism were outstanding.”
Vivian and her team have helped me administer two estates in the Buckhead area, including dealing with large houses and substantial amounts of valuable personal property and keeping fiduciary books and records for the estates. They also handled sales of the real and personal property. Their attention to detail, their performance and their professionalism were outstanding.

“What a godsend they were to her!”
My sister, who lived alone in Atlanta, was going through her third round of chemo and struggling to manage her day-to-day financial affairs. She hired Vivian Wright and her team at Common Sense Solutions to assist with those tasks. What a godsend they were to her! Not only did they take care of her current affairs with absolute integrity and gentle service, but they were also able to sort through previous business lapses and straighten out bungled financial arrangements. This included the re-instatement of her long-term care insurance where some payments had been missed.
Later, when my sister entered hospice care and passed away, I approached Vivian about her continued assistance through the process of handling my sister's estate. As with my sister, Common Sense Solutions gave remarkable service, handling the legwork that I could not achieve from a thousand miles away. I cannot recommend Common Sense Solutions highly enough to those in need of daily business care.

“I am very grateful to her for greatly lightening the burden of looking after Marilyn.”
Vivian Wright and Common Sense Solutions maintained the finances of my cousin Marilyn during the initial indications of her memory problems. Later when Marilyn needed a memory care facility, Vivian secured a place at Presbyterian Village in Austell, Ga. (the “Cadillac” of such facilities). Finally, Vivian facilitated the settlement of Marilyn’s estate. I am very grateful to her for greatly lightening the burden of looking after Marilyn.

I don’t hesitate to recommend Vivian Wright to my clients who have no family members available to serve as executor. She is trustworthy, business-like and efficient-and those same qualities are everywhere evident in the way she runs her business.

“Common Sense Solution is by far the most organized business within the management of estates I have ever had the pleasure to work with. ”
I have been in the estate business as a graduate gemologist for over 32 years. Common Sense Solution is by far the most organized business within the management of estates I have ever had the pleasure to work with. From the initial contact regarding an individual estate to the end, the management team at Common Sense Solutions provides clear and punctual communication, transparent scope of services needed and organized follow-through. In this area of expertise, one usually goes through this need once in life, so it is important to get superior people in place at the start. I highly recommend Common Sense Solutions to my family, friends and those considering a standout company in this field.

“As CEO and owner, I recognized that Vivian, who provided financial services for many of our clients, really cared and was proficient in understanding client needs.”
I have known Vivian for more than 25 years through Menders, Inc., an Atlanta homecare company serving senior adults. As CEO and owner, I recognized that Vivian, who provided financial services for many of our clients, really cared and was proficient in understanding client needs. While providing expert knowledge, guidance and client reassurance, she took the time to explain every detail.
Through the years, Menders* and Common Sense Solutions developed a strong partnership and Vivian and her team provided financial and care management services. With keen focus, boundless energy and unyielding spirit, she and her team were always ready to help solve difficult issues. To many families who were stressed, concerned and anxious about their loved one, this was invaluable. I enthusiastically recommend Vivian and her exemplary team.
