More About Our Services:
Medi-Cal Planning:
There is a damaging misconception concerning Medi-Cal Planning that you must impoverish your family before qualifying for long-term-care coverage. This is simply not correct. Medi-Cal guidelines allows families to keep their homes, certain assets and a portion of their income.
It is important to choose a lawyer possessing the knowledge to protect your assets while qualifying you for Medi-Cal.
Trust Administration
Trust administration deals with the trustee’s management of trust property established by the terms of the trust document and for the benefit of the beneficiaries following the death of the trustor(s). It is imperative that an administrator is selected who possess skills to manage trust assets, identify and understand client’s goals, as well as minimizing potential disputes. We help set up your estate plan to avoid encountering unnecessary problems during administration of your trust.
Probate Administration
Probate is a process occurring when someone dies with asset(s) in their name that need to transfer to their beneficiary. There are some assets that do not require probate, such as assets held in trust or with a beneficiary designation. This process is often time consuming, expensive and complicated and subject to court supervision. We will work with you to avoid unnecessary time delays and expenses.
Estate Planning
Estate planning involves preparation of a plan that serves to manage an individual’s assets in the event of their incapacitation or death. This process includes the bequest of assets to beneficiaries and settlement of estate taxes.
