trust & estate planning services

Most do not realize it, but everyone already has an estate plan.  The real question is how much control do you have? If you do not have a plan, then the government will impose one on your family.  It will be slower, more expensive and lack any privacy.  Most people are unaware how simple and easy it is to put a plan in place to take control over you legacy. 

Everyone! If you live in California and you own a home that is worth $66,500  (as of 2023) or more or if you have personal property worth $166,250 or more, regardless to if you have a will, your estate could be subject to complex probate. 

Even if you don't own a home, you still need  legal documents in place appointing someone to  handle your financial and healthcare decisions should you not be able to do so for yourself. 

Most people don’t have a comprehensive estate plan because they do not realize they need one and the market is vastly underserved because of the high cost of legal expertise in the area of tax and estate law.

According to the American Bar Association, only 3% of attorneys are experts in this complex and constantly changing area of the law. Bona-fide estate planning experts command fees starting at $3,500 or more for a basic Living Trust package.
