Estate Planning

Plans for Nevada, California, or both.

Wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, so the people you choose are the ones in charge and the ones provided for.

Every plan comes with a walkthrough of the process and of each document in it. Estate plans are quoted as a single flat fee at the consultation.

Probate

The process, in order.

When someone has died and there is property to settle, the whole process is laid out first, then handled one step at a time.

Probate is a process, with steps in a set order. You’ll hear the whole of it first, then only the first step and what it costs.
