It is important to take care of all your estate planning concerns while you are still able to make sound decisions regarding your assets. Having handled thousands of estate planning and estate administration cases, I know how you can protect your assets through the use of wills, trusts and other estate planning options.

Estate Planning

The cost of probate can be very expensive in California. Establishing a trust can save your family time and money, and by creating a trust, you do not have to give up control of your assets or file federal gift tax returns. There are a variety of estate planning tools that can help ensure the property distribution of and protection of an estate:

• Wills
• Family limited partnerships
• Special needs trusts
• Powers of attorney
• Revocable trusts
• Irrevocable trusts
• Conservatorships
• Guardianships

Probate and Estate Administration

The probate process can be long and expensive, but an experienced estate administration lawyer can help you minimize the costs and maximize the benefits to your family. If you are involved in a dispute regarding probate or estate administration, I can protect your rights through litigation as well.
