Sonoma County Living Trusts and Estate Planning Attorney

• Do you want to avoid probate costs?
• Do you want to prevent disputes among your heirs?
• Do you want to provide for your children should you die before they are able to provide for themselves?

It is never too soon to have a will or a living trust. You can leave it up to the state to decide how to administer your estate or you can decide yourself. When the courts are involved there is a price tag for its services. The cost of doing nothing - whether measured in time or dollars - is far more expensive than the cost of planning ahead.

At the I am mindful of clients' time and financial resources. Understanding each client's individual needs and concerns is a priority. In estate planning, there are a number of ways to arrive at the same result, so it is important for me to know and understand each client's goals in order to see which approach will work best.

To do this, I work personally with each of my clients. Early in the process, I explain the components of estate planning, making them easy for our clients to understand:

• Wills
• Trusts
• Living wills
• Revocable trusts
• Irrevocable trust
• Charitable trusts
• Powers of attorney
• Medical powers of attorney
• Health care powers of attorney
• Advance care directives
• Probate and estate administration
