We Understand What You’re Going Through
For 17 years, we’ve sat across the table from families facing the same concerns you have right now.
“What happens to my Roseville home if I die without a trust?”
“How do I make sure my kids from my first marriage aren’t accidentally disinherited?”
“Will my family have to spend a year in Placer County probate court?”
These aren’t just legal questions—they’re deeply personal. They’re about protecting the people you love and the life you’ve built.
That’s why we don’t rush. We listen. We understand your family dynamics, your concerns, your hopes for the future. Then we build an estate plan that gives you peace of mind and protects what matters most.
Without one, your family faces:
12-18 months of Placer County probate delays
$50,000-$150,000 in statutory fees
Public records (anyone can see your assets)
Frozen assets (beneficiaries can’t access funds)
With a living trust:
✅ Assets pass in weeks (not years)
✅ No court involvement
✅ Complete privacy
✅ Incapacity protection included

Most living trusts are completed within 2-3 weeks. We handle the drafting, signing, and funding of your trust to ensure it works properly.
