Full Service Estate Planning

Meeting the Estate Planning Needs of California Families

At the California Law Office of James D. Krupka, I take the time to get to know my clients and develop complete estate plans that reflect actual family dynamics, personalities and financial situations. For the past 15 years, I have offered full-estate planning services in Santa Rosa at an affordable price.

The Importance of Full-Service Estate Planning

An estate plan that does not provide you with the full funding and transfer documents required to make the plan effective is much like having a new car without gas. It may look good, but it will not accomplish what you need if it is just going to sit in the garage.

As your attorney, I will provide you with the full service you require to accomplish your goals by creating the following documents and ensuring all transfer documents and funds are in place:

• Last will and testament: Every adult should have a will, regardless of your financial or marital status.
• Trusts: The creation of a trust requires more than a well-crafted document. I ensure that your trust is accompanied with necessary transfer deeds, instruction letters, schedule of assets and other documents needed to ensure your trust is funded.
• Durable powers of attorney: If you become unable to communicate your wishes down the road, a power of attorney can give someone you trust the ability to make decisions on your behalf. I draft durable powers of attorney for health care and finance.

A Full-Service Estate Plan Can Help You Avoid Probate

Probate is the court administration of an estate that occurs after someone passes away. The process can be expensive and slow, especially if a large estate is involved. I am experienced with several estate planning tools that can help to avoid the probate process, including the use of beneficiary designations and living trusts.

If a loved one has passed, and you have been named as the personal representative, I have a team of skilled professionals standing ready to assist you through the probate process.
