"Estate" is the legal term used to define your property and money—basically, everything that belongs to you. I help clients with different strategies used to transfer belongings after death.

A written will lets you decide what happens to your money and property after you die, while a living will lets you decide whether or not you wish to be placed on a medical life support system if you become disabled or incapacitated.

Excellent Experience

I recently worked with Anita Paka on setting up my will, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From our very first meeting, she was professional, knowledgeable, and patient. Anita took the time to understand my needs and made sure I felt confident about my decisions. Thanks to her exp...ertise, what could have been a daunting process was straightforward and stress-free. I now have peace of mind knowing everything is in order. I highly recommend Anita Paka to anyone needing assistance with estate planning!

Anita Paka review

I had an excellent experience drawing up my Will and Living Trust with Ms. Paka. She expertly guided me through what can be an intimidating and overwhelming process. She was patient, knowledgeable, and responded to my questions VERY quickly and thoroughly. I received the drafts and final documents ...even sooner than I expected, which allowed me the peace of mind of having the process completed ahead of my expected timeframe. It’s such a relief to have these documents in place, and to feel confident that I was guided and informed through each step along the way. I would happily recommend her without hesitation!

Excellent attorney

I am very pleased with the legal services that Anita provided. I had done a lot of research and thought I had a good idea of what I needed. She provided excellent advice, document preparation, signing with witnesses, and electronic recording at the county. I appreciated her quick response to my inqui...ry, her very reasonable fees, and her thoroughness. I would definitely use her again.

Thank you!

Annie was kind enough to explain what a living will does and was patient with me as I took the time to fill out the forms and ask questions.
