* Up to a one half hour office consultation with attorney to determine your Estate Planning and Living Trust needs.  This includes a review of your estate planning questionnaire and documents that you provide to my office.  The heart of your Estate Planning packet is a Living Trust.

* Living Trust (up to 40 pages in length) -   Specifies who will manage the Trust and the beneficiaries after the death of each person.

* Wills for each of you if you are married (up to 10 pages in length).   In case you left assets out of your will for some specific reason, they can pour over into the trust after your death. Sometimes people forget to include property in the trust after the trust has been completed.    A will acts as a vehicle to put the remaining assets into the trust to be managed.

* Durable Power of Attorney for each of you (if you are married.)  A durable power of attorney can be several pages for each of you.   This appoints someone, such as a spouse or a trusted relative, to act for you as a financial manager if you are unable to do so for some reason.   This could be a temporary or a long turn appointment.

* Community property agreement if it is deemed to be in your best interest.  This has a lot to do with tax basis of the property and potential capital gain responsibility to the IRS.

* Health Care Power of Attorney - Also known as Living Wills.   This  appoints someone to make a trusted decision in the event you are unable to do so.  This is a very important document since it gives the power  to direct  physicians to perform or withhold treatment.  This person is usually a spouse or a trusted relative or friend who knows what your wishes are regarding medical treatment. 

* Deed to transfer California real property into the Trust.  Additional  fees are charged when there is more than one real property.  

*Letters of Instruction to bankers, stock brokers, IRA custodians, pension plan administrators, life insurance companies.
