We are committed to working with our clients to protect their wealth, handling legal matters in a variety of practice areas for our clients including:
We help families from generation to generation
Estate Planning is about establishing and maintaining control for ourselves and our families both during our lifetimes and after. We are a law firm that will listen to what is important to you, design a plan which achieves your goals. We will craft custom documents to meet your needs, take the time to explain them to you and train you to make certain that our work for you will successfully achieve your goals. We are experienced in using a large array of techniques to help our clients reach their planning goals. Our firm regularly works with new, established, blended and extended families. We are devoted to bringing to life and keeping alive our clients visions for both themselves and their family group.
We help families transfer assets after a death
The transfer of assets after the death of a family member can be as stressful and divisive as a divorce. Too often adding to those stresses, the probate process is a litigation-oriented process that, in our opinion, encourages conflicts and confrontations. Choosing the right law firm can reduce the amount of pain and conflict that arises when dealing with a deceased family member's assets.
In helping our clients through probate proceedings and estate administration, we have three goals. Our first goal is to move the probate or estate administration along and conclude the process as quickly as is prudent. Our second goal is to help minimize the natural family conflicts that are fanned and inflamed by California's probate and estate administration systems. Our final goal is to minimize current and future taxes so that our California probate clients get to keep more of their inheritances.
We protect families against predators and the unexpected
In these hard economic times, proper asset protection is more important than ever. It seems that Predators are more and more often using the legal system to extort money from blameless families and businesses. Too often, people in dire financial straits look to victimize others in order to replenish their bank accounts. Personal injury claims always go up when times are hard. During tough times, too many ordinary business disagreements escalate and become business-threatening lawsuits. Most attorneys earn their living solely by suing and threatening to sue others.
When times are tough, insurance premium dollars become dear, making it harder to maintain enough insurance to protect against ordinary risks, never mind the unexpected. You need a law firm who can help you prepare in advance to survive attacks from predators, competitors and the unexpected. We are experienced in both reinforcing existing business structures and creating new custom structures (such as specialized LLCs, double walled corporations, and domestic and offshore trusts) to provide safety and protection in uncertain times.
We help Seniors and their Families access entitlement dollars to pay for both in home and nursing home care
In addition to estate planning and traditional asset protection, we help Seniors and their families secure the support and benefits they need. Our San Diego lawyers can help you with a range of issues and benefits, including:
As we age and we watch friends and family age, it easy to worry about what would happen to our spouses or ourselves if we become ill or injured and lose our independence. What if taking care of us is too much for our spouse to physically manage? Will our needs wipe out our savings and leave our spouse in need? Will we be a physical or financial burden on our children?
Without proper planning, an extended nursing home stay is a financial catastrophe for most families. You need an attorney who can protect you, your spouse and your nest egg. Through advanced planning, worries can be laid to rest and family nest eggs can be preserved. Even on the eve of nursing home need, our attorneys are often able to protect a spouse against impoverishment. To protect your family against nursing home costs, you need to take control. You need to act before your financial resources are drained. The further in advance you act, the greater the degree of safety you can attain for yourself and your family.
California recently enacted its most substantial changes to the nursing home benefit rules since 1983. We are prepared and trained to help families minimize the financial impact of the new rules as they are implemented. Our attorneys are armed with analytic tools, techniques and strategies, which are effective under the new federally mandated California benefit qualification rules.
Families are at great risk when consulting attorneys and firms that have not kept up to date. Unfortunately, many old established techniques for sheltering family assets are no longer effective. We invest the time necessary to make certain we are able to provide our clients with reliable, up-to-date guidance and protection.
The failure to seek timely legal counsel is one of the costliest mistakes a business can make. We help businesses succeed from start to business succession, offering experienced counsel for a variety of business needs, such as:
Tax planning is an integral part of helping people build and preserve wealth. Facing a government hungry to collect extra tax dollars from families and businesses, tax defense has become an important part of keeping from become a victim. Our experienced San Diego taxation attorneys handle a broad range of taxation matters for our clients, including:
