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.

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.

Stellar Attorney

Attorney Anita was very professional detail oriented, diligent and knowledgeable which helped successfully file our case. She was able to identify and guide us through our filing process until the end. She was very honest with expectations . I highly recommend her immigration service .

Throrough, fast and easy

My wife and I had previously attempted a will using free software, but we never knew if there were mistakes or issues with it and I didn't know what to do beyond the document to make sure things would be easy on our heirs. Now that have two kids and a bigger estate, we hired Annie to help us upgrade ...our estate planning. She was easy to work with, to schedule meetings with her online tool, easy to submit information to using a detailed questionnaire, answered all of our questions we had in the initial meeting and in multiple batches through email as we filled in the questionnaire, and gave us our documents within a couple weeks. We went to her office to sign everything quickly. And she took care of the re-titling our house into the trust and gave us guidance on adding the trust to our financial accounts. Our legal insurance covered most of it, except a $350 fee that covered the property re-titling and maybe some office expenses. Previous quotes without legal insurance were a minimum of $1500, so we felt we got a great deal by signing up for legal insurance this year. No complaints and I'd recommend Annie to anyone. Thanks!

Keeps it Simple

She was accommodating and helped me with my case all online which was a great help for me since her office was far and my schedule can be hectic. She was extremely fast in responding my questions and explaining all the documents that we were signing. Overall, she made this process extremely simple an...d she was able to close my case in a very timely manner.

Excellent experience!

I worked with Anita for my prenuptial agreement that had a tight deadline. She was very communicative, efficient, and professional throughout the entire process. She proposed revisions that I hadn't considered before and explained things clearly. My fiancé and I are very pleased with the agreement an...d I highly recommend Anita to anyone!
