Estate Planning 30%

"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.

Uncontested Divorce 20%

I help clients with uncontested divorce where both spouses agree that they no longer want to be married, and divide assets without involving a judge.

Wills and Living Wills 15%

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.

Marriage and Prenuptials 10%

A prenuptial agreement can be especially important if you have financial interests you've accrued earlier in life and wish to clarify how they will or won't be shared with your new spouse.

Will/Power of Attorney/Medical Directive

Ms. Paka recently assisted me with estate planning documents. She explained everything I had questions about in a clear and concise manner. I would recommend her her to family and friends with no hesitation.

Knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with

I contacted Ms. Paka to create a will and she advised me to also set up a trust and explained the differences to me. She made our estate planning process very easy. She was very friendly and easy to work with. Very glad that I found her.

Awesome Job Annie!

Look no further, Annie is the BEST!! She helped us with our estate planning needs and the creation of LIVING TRUST, on which we procrastinated for years. From the first phone call with her, I know I had reached the right attorney. She gave me ample time during our initial conversation and patiently a...nswered the many questions I had. Through continued interactions, I realized that she is knowledgeable, professional, attentive, thorough, and extremely prompt. She never rushed me despite being slow in compiling the information that she needed to finalize our documents. She was super quick in responding to our email inquiries, very accommodating when setting up meetings and revising our documents, extremely punctual to our meetings, and provided excellent advice in getting us to the finish line swiftly and effortlessly. Thanks a million Annie for helping us attain the of peace of mind we craved for so long.

Completely satisfied

My wife and I hired Ms. Paka to create a full estate package for us (living trust, wills, health care directives, powers of attorney, etc...). She was very polite and responsive, quickly answering any questions that we had. Her rates were reasonable, and we were completely satisfied with all of her... support.

Excellent Experience

Annie did a great job helping us create our will and trust. Great communication and responsive. She was able to meet with us at a time that worked for our schedule. We would definitely use her again.
