Plan
A will or living trust that says who receives your assets, who's in charge, and how it all happens, without a court deciding for you.
Explore plan types →Modern estate planning, protecting your family.
Wills, trusts, and health care directives built around your family, at a flat fee you know up front.
Married, divorced, a new child, or a move? We review your existing will or trust and bring it up to date.
When someone dies without a trust, we guide you through San Diego probate court, from the first petition to final distribution.
Named as successor trustee? We help with the notices, inventory, taxes, and distributions, so you settle the trust correctly.

Protect
Healthcare directives, HIPAA releases, and powers of attorney so the people you trust can act for you if you can't.
Why it matters →Modernize
Instructions for digital assets, online accounts, and cryptocurrency, so nothing you own online gets lost.
How we work →Maintain
Life changes. Free amendments for six months on trust packages, and an annual review so the plan keeps matching your family.
See the process →Why plan
Life is unpredictable. Your legacy shouldn't be.
A well-crafted estate plan does more than distribute assets. It protects your family, preserves your wishes, and creates a lasting positive impact. Without proper planning:
-
Court time and costYour assets may go through lengthy probate proceedings.
-
Asset distributionState law, not your preferences, decides who receives what.
-
Healthcare choicesYour healthcare wishes might not be followed.
-
Lost assetsDigital assets could be lost or inaccessible.
-
Additional taxesYour family might face higher tax burdens.
The process
A clear path from first call to signed plan.
Most plans go from the first conversation to signed documents in three to four weeks. You'll always know what comes next, and you'll never be asked to sign something you don't understand.
