Few activities are more important than planning for your own long-term security and the continued well-being of your loved ones. The complexities of estate laws can lead many people to put off this crucial task until it’s too late, but with competent legal help you can lay a solid foundation for protecting your assets and preserving your future.

As an experienced estate planning lawyer, I specialize in estate and tax planning for individuals and small businesses. I have an extensive tax background and can provide tax advice and handle tax controversy matters with the IRS and state and local authorities. I also advise and form corporations, S corporations, limited liability companies and sole proprietorships.

Keep in mind that one size does not fit all when it comes to estate planning. To meet your specific goals, you should be represented by an estate planning lawyer who will be sensitive to your objectives and who is experienced in trusts, estates, taxation, probate and business law. As a skilled estate planning lawyer, I never forget the importance of the human aspect of estate administrations, and provide conscientious, considerate guidance to all clients. I work to provide the most effective and efficient solutions to the legal issues brought to me by clients throughout the Bay Area, including:

• Business Formation

• Estate Planning
  • Health Care Directives
  • Powers of Attorney

  • Trusts

With new laws being passed on a regular basis, the guidance of an experienced estate planning attorney is critical in assuring that your unique estate planning goals are understood and carried out. Proper estate planning can ensure that your invaluable legacy is not wasted, and that loved ones are cared for according to your wishes. Avoiding probate costs, expensive court proceedings and unnecessary taxes are important elements in preserving the integrity of your estate.

With comprehensive expertise in California estate and income tax law, as well as extensive experience in courts at the local, state and federal levels, I am particularly adept at developing and executing plans tailored to each client’s circumstances and goals — from small probate matters to multi-million-dollar trusts and estates.
