​Dear Visitor,

 

     If you’re reading this, you’re likely thinking about how to protect what matters most—your family, your home, and your future. If you want to learn more about what you need to do, I do not charge to sit down and talk. This allows you to get to know me and what I can provide you with and allows me to get to know you and make sure you are a client I want to help. I will explain to you the issues in detail. If you decide what I offer is what you are looking for, I will quote you a fee at the meeting. If you decide what I do is not what you are looking for, we will shake hands and part as friends. Honestly, 99.99% of the people I meet hire me to prepare their estate plan. 

 

     I want to be candid with you: not all estate plans are created equal. I recently learned that some attorneys are charging upwards of $4,500 for a “trust package” that’s only four pages long. No powers of attorney. No health care documents. No guidance on disability or Medi-Cal. Just a shell document that checks a box and leaves families exposed. Sadly, this is more common than people realize. Many attorneys offer cookie-cutter trusts that focus solely on avoiding probate, using pre-filled templates that take minutes to assemble. It’s a quick way to make a buck—but it’s not estate planning. And it’s certainly not the kind of protection I would ever offer my own family, or yours.

 

     When you work with me, you’re getting far more than a basic document. You’re getting a comprehensive estate plan tailored to your life, your goals, and your loved ones. The plan I will create for you will include:

​

• ✅ Avoidance of Conservatorship Court upon disability and Probate Court at Your Death – A properly drafted and funded plan keeps your family out of court, both now and later.

• ✅ Disability Planning – So someone you trust can manage your affairs if you can’t.

• ✅ Medi-Cal Protection – Strategies to preserve your home and qualify for long-term care without spending everything.

• ✅ Spousal Asset Protection – Safeguard assets from a second marriage or remarriage after your passing.

• ✅ Children’s Inheritance Safeguards – Protect their inheritance from divorce, creditors, lawsuits, or financial mistakes.

• ✅ Estate Tax Planning – Reduce or eliminate estate tax burdens where applicable.

• ✅ Full Trust Funding Support – We guide you through retitling and assigning your assets properly—no guesswork left to you.

• ✅ Ongoing Free Updates (with Life Plan Membership) – As life changes, your plan evolves—without surprise legal bills.

• ✅ Personal Guidance Every Step of the Way – You’re not handed a stack of documents—you’re supported with trusted advice and care.

 

     This is real planning—for real families—with real results. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to help.

 

Sincerely,
