Swift Resolution to Your Estate Planning Issues

As a former editor-in-chief of the law review who graduated at the top of my law school class, I have the writing skills, intelligence and legal expertise to craft your desires and concerns into comprehensive and clear estate plans. My experience allows me to easily provide a prompt turnaround to even the most complex of estate planning needs.

Wills and Trusts That Work for You

I will answer your questions about complex financial subjects in clearly understandable plain English. I will quickly point out potential pitfalls and anticipate solutions to them.

In recent years, living trusts have grown increasingly popular as substitutes for wills in estate planning. They are sometimes called revocable trusts or inter-vivos trusts. Living trusts can have many advantages over wills including avoiding the time, expense and hassle of probate or conservatorships, as well as keeping your financial affairs private, and possibly reducing taxes. Living trusts also provide for immediate, easy transfer of property upon your death. Working with me, you'll have your trust completed, in most cases, within just a couple of weeks (or sooner).

Exercise your free will by estate planning and creating a will ahead of time. There are so many benefits to being able to choose what you want.

Crafting Estate Plans That Are Reassuring and Reasonably Priced

My office (conveniently located near BART and bus lines and a straight shot off I-80) is in a renovated Victorian home blocks from the Berkeley campus. I understand the importance of feeling comfortable about your future and anticipating potentialities as you grow older. I encourage you to call for a free consultation: 510-984-3983.
