Questions
What estate planning documents do I really need?
Every adult should have a will, durable power of attorney, and advance health care directive. Depending on your assets and family situation, we may recommend living trusts or specialized plans for blended families.
How does probate work in California?
Estates exceeding $150,000 must go through probate court. We help executors complete required filings, settle debts, and distribute assets according to the will or state law if no will exists.
Can you help with special needs estate planning?
Yes, we create specialized trusts that protect government benefits while ensuring proper care for children with special needs through coordinated legal and financial strategies.
What happens if I don't create an estate plan?
California's default laws will determine asset distribution and guardianship. This often leads to increased costs, family conflicts, and outcomes that may not reflect your wishes.
How much does estate planning cost?
Costs vary based on complexity. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and provide detailed cost estimates before beginning any work.
Do you offer free consultations?
We provide complimentary informational seminars and initial consultations to discuss your specific needs and answer basic estate planning questions.
