Your Family. Your Home. Your Legacy. Your DECISION.

Estate Planning & Asset Protection

Do you want your property and assets to: (1) remain in your control during your lifetime; (2) take care of you and your loved ones if you become disabled; and (3) pass to who you want, the way you want, when you want while minimizing taxable dollars, professional fees, and court costs?  We work with each client to design an estate plan that accomplishes all of these goals and any unique objectives you desire.

FLAT FEES. NO SURPRISES. CUSTOM PLANS BUILT AROUND PEOPLE YOU LOVE.

Without a plan, California has one for you: a public probate court, a judge choosing your children's guardian, and fees paid out of what your family should have received. An estate plan puts those decisions back where they belong — with you.

What are you protecting?

Protect My Family

New baby? Growing household? Decide who raises your children — on purpose, not by chance.

Protect My Home

In California, a home outside a trust means probate: public, slow, expensive. Keep your home in the family, not in court.

Protect My Legacy

First to build it. Not the last to have it. Protection that reaches the next generation.

Protect My Business

You built it. Make sure someone can run it — payroll, contracts, decisions — no matter what happens to you.

Protect My Loved One With Special Needs

Planning that protects the inheritance and the benefits — from an attorney who lives these questions too.

HOW IT WORKS:

Why now?

Because waiting has a price…

01

$40,000+

statutory probate fees on a $900,000 California home, calculated on gross value, mortgage or not.

02

12-18 months

how long probate commonly takes while your family waits.

03

Nothing

what a judge knows about your family when choosing your children's guardian without your written nomination.
