A complete plan
A trust only works with the papers around it. You also need a pour-over will, a power of attorney and a health care directive. Without them, your plan has gaps when you need it most. So Paul prepares a complete estate plan. Trust-based plans start at $3,500. See all fees.


I have been using Paul for about two years now. I had an old Trust that had been done back in the early 90's and was based on price only. I got a cheap price and a cheap attorney. I finally had my trust redone by Paul and it became a real document that covered all of the aspects of my needs and the needs of my family. The document went from a 20 page trust which was all boiler plate to a 60 to 90 page document that addressed the requirements I needed for my will, my medical requirements, my home, accounts, everything you need to protect. I couldn't be any happier I made the change and had Paul update my Trust. Now my sons are using Paul for their own family trusts also. I could not give a higher recommendation than 5 stars or I would have.
Paul was very thorough in preparing our estate plan. He patiently answered all of our questions in a way that was easy to understand and he raised good questions for us to consider that we would not have thought of. He made the entire process easy. Highly recommended.
Paul is professional, communicative, and (maybe most importantly) empathetic. He's always available to answer questions and is very helpful. I'll definitely be working with Paul in the future and recommend him to anyone in need of a will or trust.
Paul was able to help us although I we were unable to be in California. His communication and service was excellent. His assistance in completing our task in a timely manner while overcoming the roadblocks during the pandemic were fantastic.
Paul was very professional and accommodating throughout the complex process of getting our Will and Trust created. He was very patient with us while we were sorting things out, and helpful in navigating the legalese. We found the price for the services to be very reasonable. I highly recommend Paul.
Paul is not only very knowledgeable and confident in his work, but he really is there for his clients. He really is in the business to help people and cares about their life outcomes. It's not just a business for him, it is a lifestyle and he wants to do what it takes to prevent harm in his clients futures! Hire Paul for all your estate planning needs!
