Estate Planning and Probate
One of the most important considerations for all of us is to insure that our loved ones are properly taken care of after we depart. Our aim is to provide our clients with the finest estate planning and probate services available.
A sound estate plan takes into consideration both your desire to protect your assets and your plans for how they are to be inherited. You do not need to be listed in Fortune Magazine to be concerned about making sure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
An ideal estate plan is personal to the user. It cannot be made through non-attorney trust services, pre-made forms or self help software programs. This is where a qualified California estate-planning attorney is needed to insure that you have a solid plan to protect your assets and achieve your goals.
We know the many laws, rules, regulations, procedures and customs involved in setting up an estate plan and that undergoing a probate case can be very stressful, bewildering and frustrating. Our commitment to our clients is to make the estate planning and probate process as easy and efficient as possible.
Whether your estate requires probate administration in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego or statewide we can provide the executors (called "personal representatives" in California) with "plain probate talk" and economical guidance. We can serve all of California in uncontested estates because neither the executor nor the attorney has to actually go to court. Therefore, the personal representative does not need to live in California, and the attorney need not be near the courthouse.

Our commitment is the same, whether we are called upon for strategic planning, negotiating a transaction or handling a crisis. It is the same whether our client is a growing entrepreneur, an
