What Is Estate Planning?

Estate planning not only includes planning for asset distribution upon your demise, but also encompasses advance health care directives and a financial power of attorney, and other documents to make your wishes and desires known.

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.
