Planning with local perspective
Why this matters
Local familiarity supports efficient planning and smoother administration in nearby courts and institutions throughout Irvine and surrounding communities.
Estate Planning
Create a tailored plan that may include a will, living trust, financial power of attorney, and advance health care directive. Our Southern California–based team provides clear explanations of how California estate laws apply and helps you choose the right documents for your goals across Irvine, Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino.
Trust Administration
When a loved one passes, trustees must handle notices, asset collection, taxes, and distributions. We guide you step-by-step so administration stays organized—whether assets are in Irvine or elsewhere across Orange County.
Probate
If court oversight is required, we prepare filings, coordinate appraisals, and represent the personal representative through hearings in Orange County and nearby courts—streamlining a process that can feel complex.
Wills & Trusts
Understand how a last will and a revocable living trust work together under California law. Our Southern California team explains the practical differences, funding steps, and key terms that help ensure your loved ones are cared for—serving families across Irvine, Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino.
Conservatorships
In limited situations, families may need a court-appointed conservator for an adult who cannot manage personal or financial affairs. We provide guidance and referral support for conservatorships when appropriate.
Special Needs Trusts
Preserve benefits while improving quality of life for a loved one with disabilities. We establish first-party and third-party special needs trusts and coordinate terms within your broader estate plan.
