Our Practice
We're Here to Help
Medi-Cal Benefits
Qualifying for Medi-Cal nursing home coverage, while preserving assets, minimizing “share of cost,” and avoiding State recovery actions.
Conservatorships
Our staff has extensive experience in conservatorships and alternatives that may avoid the need for a conservatorship
Probate
Prompt distribution to beneficiaries. We have over 40 years of experience in Probate and Probate Avoidance proceedings. Get it done simply, quickly, and skillfully.
Trusts & Estate Plans
Integrated Estate Plans with Trusts, Special Needs Trusts, Wills and Powers of Attorney. Our estate plans are tailored to your specific family needs and will maximize access to benefit programs and needed care for you and your family.
Special Needs
We are recognized experts in Special Needs Planning. Our familiarity with public benefit programs helps us draft your Special Needs Trust to supplement, not replace your loved one’s benefits. We have the knowledge and experience to draft your trust with the flexibility to provide for your family members over a lifetime in a world of uncertain changes.
Trust Administration
There are many traps and risks for Trustees. It is important to “know what you don’t know,” so you do not end up personally liable. We strive to keep our Trustee clients safe and the administration moving along. We help our beneficiary clients get their proper share promptly.
