Services Offered:

• Estate Planning: Planning your estate today means much more than merely writing a will or planning for the transfer of your property when you pass away. An estate plan may also ensure that your minor children are cared for; minimize the adverse effects of incapacity prior to death; and reduce anticipated income and tax liabilities. In order to maximize your planning, it is essential to understand the various estate planning documents available. Living Trust: This is a document which is created while you are alive, and certain assets are placed in the trust by changing title to the assets into the name of the trust. If your assets are properly placed in the trust, they are distributed outside of the probate court, shortly after your death. Your estate plan may be changed as often as your needs change.
• Probate & Trust Administration: Probate administration is the court supervised administration of the estate of a person who has passed away, either with, or without a Will. In summary, the court will appoint someone to represent the estate. The representative will collect all of the decedent’s assets, pay the decedent’s debts and expenses of the estate, and then distribute the estate according to order of the court. Trust administration entails the administration of a trust while either the creator is incapacitated, or after the creator has passed away. Trust administration follows much of the same activities as probate administration, but generally without court supervision.
• Probate & Trust Litigation: While everyone would like to stay out of litigation, sometimes it is necessary if the rules of the California Probate Code are not being properly followed.
• Conservatorship: Conservatorship is a legal status to which a court appoints someone as the Conservator of an incapacitated person, or their estate, or both. Conservatorship of the Estate requires management of the financial affairs of an incapacitated person. Conservatorship of the Person requires the Conservator to be responsible for establishing and monitoring the physical care of the incapacitated individual and managing their living arrangements.
