Estate Planning

Estate Planning Services

Estate planning is a strategic process that enables you, not a probate court, to make important decisions regarding your finances, healthcare, and legacy. It goes beyond just drafting a will. An estate plan is not just for end-of-life issues because a well-designed plan directs other matters throughout your life.

Our mission is to empower you with the necessary knowledge and resources to navigate the complexities of estate planning so that you can have peace of mind knowing that your wishes will be carried out and your loved ones will be provided for.

Ensure the protection and effective management of your assets, taxes, health care, and family matters through an estate plan with the expertise of an estate planning lawyer in Rocklin, California.

The legal documents that will help you achieve this are last wills and testaments, pour-over wills, revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, testamentary trusts, special needs trusts, durable power of attorney, and a range of healthcare documents such as advanced healthcare directives and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) authorizations.

Power Over Your Assets

Work with one of our attorneys to craft an estate plan tailored to your unique needs and wishes. Your estate plan will replace California’s predetermined arrangements. Giving you and your family peace of mind.

  • Last Will & Testament

    We will prepare a last will and testament that ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your passing. This document can help prevent any potential conflicts among your loved ones over property and financial matters.

    We will provide guidance in choosing a power of attorney (POA) and explain the legal rights of the person you choose as your agent. It is a necessary document and the best way to protect your finances, property, and medical care needs.

  • Trusts

    This includes Revocable Living Trust, Irrevocable Trust, Testamentary Trust, and Special Needs Trust.

    The best attorneys will ensure that a pour-over will is in place to capture any assets that are not included in your living trust or that weren’t transferred initially. It’s always better to play it safe and make sure everything is handled accordingly.

Jen helped us figure out the nuances of the different state laws to help with setting up the will and distribution to family members. She found issues with our previous will/trust that were corrected and offered updates to the new laws. We are very pleased with the final product and my mother feels that her wishes have been heard and met.
