"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.

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.

Great to work with

Anita was great to work with for writing our Wills. She was quick to respond to all questions and clearly explained everything so we could decide what was best for our family.

Estate planning documents as per US laws incorporating indian family values.

Ms. Anita understood my wishes and presented them well in the legal documents very efficiently. Her understanding and apprecitation of indian family culture went long way in drafting of the documents.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
