ESTATE PLANNING
When I work with you to create an estate plan, we take the time to ensure it is right. The first consultation is free and usually takes about 1 1/2 hours. During this consultation I help you decide what is the best plan for you. My plans are individualized to your needs. My years of experience working with families and my personal experience after the loss of my parents and grandmother (for whom I had created plans), enables me to create thoughtful plans that work. The following are some of the issues you need to consider when creating your plan. (Click on each one for more detail.)
LIVING TRUSTS PROBATE ESTATE TAXES
The following include some of the types of plans I can assist you with: Living Trusts, Wills, Durable Powers of Attorney, Advance Health Care Directives, Special Needs Trusts, Incapacity Planning, Business Succession Planning, Buy-Sell Agreements, Irrevocable Trusts, and Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts
Don't worry about understanding all of these issues before your free consultation. I will help you understand how these issues affect you depending on your particular circumstances. JUST CALL 831-772-8300 for your appointment. THE INFORMATION ON MY WEBSITE IS FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY.
 ELDER LAW I work with elders and their families to plan for incapacity and assist them after difficult situations arise. I have created plans that have allowed spouses in a nursing home to obtain Medi-Cal benefits while protecting the at-home spouse from impoverishment. None of these plans involved annuities. I have created Special Needs Trusts for Medi-Cal and SSI beneficiaries. I have obtained court orders allowing transfers of assets and setting up irrevocable trusts. I create estate plans that provide for future incapacity. I often work with other professionals to ensure that the client is getting the best plan under the circumstances.
PROBATE ADMINISTRATION I represent parties in the administration of PROBATE estates. I handle PROBATE court matters related to trust administration and probate cases. I keep control of the timing to try to make the probate go as quickly as possible. I do not charge extra fees and work with the executor and administrator to ensure that they are able to do the work properly.
BUSINESS LAW I represent various businesses from formation or purchase, during the operation and growth of your business, through dissolution or sale. I work with you to determine the best type of entity to chose for your business, for operational and tax purposes. I believe that the better you prepare for all aspects of your business operation, the better your business will be. I have acted as general counsel for numerous small to medium sized businesses. If you need an attorney, but cannot afford to hire someone full time, I am able to fit the bill. I advise and draft the appropriate documents for various types of ventures, including Sole Proprietorships using Fictitious Business Names, Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, Joint Ventures, Co-Tenants, Limited Partnerships, and Nonprofit Organizations.
I advise and represent businesses during their operation. I create employment agreements, contracts, and leases. REAL ESTATE The following are some of the types of real estate matters I handle: Leases, Landlord-Tenant Transactions, Property Management Agreements, Purchase-Sale Contracts, Options, Title Matters, Easements, Security Instruments, Deeds of Trust, Water and Road Agreements, Mutual Water Companies, CC&Rs, Equity Share Agreements, and Ground Leases.
FARM LEASES AND AGREEMENTSThese services include creating farm and ranch leases and water agreements.
TRADEMARKS I assist clients in obtaining trademarks and service marks.
TAXATION I advise clients regarding the various tax implications of their plans. I am knowledgeable about Corporate, Partnership, Limited Liability Company, Non-profits, Real Estate, Property, Sales, Estate and Gift Tax Matters.
