The Estate Planning Process

In creating your estate plan and documents, I will endeavor to learn about you, your family and your financial situation. We will also spend some time exploring your long-term goals for yourself and your family. Then I will create the estate documents that can help you achieve those goals.

At a minimum, this should include:

  • A will
  • An advance health care directive which specifies the medical care you want or do not want at the end of your life
  • A Power of Attorney which appoints someone to handle your financial affairs if you are unable to do so

As your life and financial situation change, I can easily update these documents. I also strive to keep my firm's estate planning services as cost-effective as possible.

Complex Estate Planning

In addition to having a law degree, I have a Master's in Taxation from Golden Gate University and an MBA. This background enables me to handle more complex estate planning matters. If you want to transition a family-owned business to the next generation, I can set up a family limited partnership or other legal vehicle that can accomplish your aims. I can also provide estate tax planning advice designed to preserve your assets.
