Probate

The probate process in California can be challenging, and it’s natural for questions and concerns to arise along the way. We can help you understand what to expect from the process, including how administrators are determined, what role they play, how the estate is assessed, how debts and taxes are paid, and how the remaining assets are distributed among the beneficiaries. We can also help to address and resolve disputes that may arise throughout this legal procedure.

Corporate Formation

We recognize that creating or legally changing your business is an important step in your career. As your attorney, I can help inform the legal side of your corporate formation decisions to help you achieve your business goals. Should you structure a partnership, LLC or S-Corp? Will you need to draft shareholder or LLC membership agreements? How can you best limit your general liability? I’m here to offer experienced advice on these and all other corporate formation matters.
