below to view additional information about these topics. The real estate issues commonly
handled by the office include negotiations concerning commercial and
residential purchase and sales, residential and commercial escrows, deeds of
trust foreclosures, boundary issues, and aspects of land use. We handle estate planning for
individuals and couples of all ages.
Our planning ranges from simple to complex and includes provisions for
minor and disabled beneficiaries, if required. We work with clients to tailor plans
minimizing or eliminating estate taxes. We can assist with estate
administrations from the very simple to the more complex. Generally we do not handle contested
estates and refer our clients to attorneys more experienced with such
litigation. Elder law can encompass several of
the above areas of law, as well as issues of Medicaid planning and other cost
of care issues for elderly clients or elderly family members of clients. We try to work with families to encourage
cooperation and facilitate smooth administration when an elder is dealing
with capacity issues. We can also help
draft documents to prepare for incapacity and facilitate enforcement of those
documents after incapacity. ***LEGAL
