What Is Estate Planning?
Simply put, estate planning is figuring out what happens to your assets at the time of your death, and planning for how we get from here to there. Preserving assets, protecting your interests, and setting up the proper legal documents are all parts of this process.

Robert P. Bergman
Estate Planning Attorney
Advising You Step By Step!
I’m Attorney Bob Bergman. I’ve lived in Santa Clara County since 1968, and I’ve been a practicing attorney since 1980.
My planning approach is like an architect designing a custom home for my clients. In our meeting, we will create a “blueprint” together for your custom estate plan that has the features and benefits you request and need. Then, once we finish the design of your estate plan, I will create an estate plan like a contractor, building it step by step.
