BOOK A FREE ESTATE PLANNING CONSULTATION NOW!
If you wish to consult with me regarding living trust planning, planning for special needs family members, planning for asset protection for retirement plan assets for your heirs, or wealth preservation planning. There is currently no charge for this consultation (subject to change without notice.)
BOOK AN ESTATE ADMINISTRATION CONSULTATION (Trust or Probate Administration)
If you wish to consult with me about handling the post-death administration for a person who had no Will, had only a Will, or had a revocable and/or irrevocable trust of which you are the successor trustee, or if you are a beneficiary and you wish to consult about your rights as a beneficiary under an existing trust or Will. These consultations are billed at an hourly rate of $500.00 per hour, with a minimum of one hour, due and payable at the time of the consultation.
BOOK A TRUST PETITION CONSULTATION When using living trusts, there are sometimes situations that arise where court action is necessary. When there are loose assets owned by a Decedent (e.g. one who has died) and there is a trust involved, it may be necessary to go to court to have those assets declared to be assets of the Decedent’s existing trust. This is called a Heggstad petition. In other cases, changes in the law or circumstances may mean that modifications should be made to existing irrevocable trusts. These changes can be made through court using a petition under Probate Code Sections 15403 or 15409. A trust modification petition would then be appropriate. These consultations are 45 minutes in length, and can be done in-person or by telephone. I can also assist no matter where in the State of California the Decedent lived or the trust is being administered.
