New Estate Plans
Create a plan that protects your family and brings you peace of mind.
If you have never created an estate plan before, we will walk you through every decision step by step. We explain the difference between wills and trusts, discuss guardianship for children, and help you choose the right options for your family’s goals and values.
You will finish with a complete plan that clearly outlines your wishes, avoids unnecessary court involvement, and protects your loved ones in the way you intend.
Common documents and services include:
• Revocable Living Trust
• Pour-Over Will
• Durable Power of Attorney
• Advance Health Care Directive
• Guardianship nominations (for families with minor children)
• Property and title transfers to properly fund your trust -
Update an Existing Estate Plan
Make sure your plan still fits your life today.
If you already have a trust or will, it is important to keep it current. Life changes like marriage, divorce, a new child, a move to California, or changes in tax law can all affect your plan’s effectiveness.
We review your existing documents, explain what still works, and recommend updates where needed. Whether you are a returning client or coming to us from another firm, we will make the process easy and comfortable.
