California Estate Planning

With more than a decade of experience in estate planning, our team can help to ensure that you are prepared for the future by walking you through the entire process of developing and/or modifying the following:

Revocable Trusts: This document is a trust that can have provisions or that can be altered or canceled by the grantor or the originator of the trust.

Last Will and Testament: This document dictates how you would like your affairs handled and assets distributed upon your death.

Durable Power of Attorney: This document gives another individual the legal ability to act for you in financial and medical manners as you have defined.

Advanced Health Care Directive: Also called a living will or medical directive, an advanced health care directive specifies your wishes for end-of-life care. It also identifies who should make decisions about your health care on your behalf if you are unable to do so.

To date, Mr. Keyes has been a great asset to our family; helping to plan a trust and the appropriate tax strategies for us and the next generation.

"Elijah was very helpful with editing our family trust after my wife passed away. He answered all my question in a timely manner and if he did not know the answer he found out quickly.

Will use him again when the trust needs to updated." -D.
