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.
