Estate Planning 30%

Estate plans provide individuals and families with stability and peace of mind. We provide custom estate plans based on you and your families needs. Lets create a plan so you can rest easy knowing you, your family, and your assets are protected.

30%
Probate 30%

In the unfortunate event a friend or family member passed without a Trust, we can assist with the probate administration.

30%
Trusts 30%

Everyone in California, especially those with minor children or who own homes, should have a trust. Let me review your existing plan, or create a custom tailored plan with you.

30%
Power of Attorney 5%

An estate plan should always include a power of attorney (POA). Appoint someone to pay your bills and manage your assets in the event you cannot do so yourself. POAs should be re-signed about every 5 years so they are not deemed "stale."

5%
Wills and Living Wills 5%

Lets meet and discuss the differences between a will and trust. A small percent of people in California need wills (most need a trust). I am here to discuss the pros and cons with you and, if appropriate, create a custom will based on your needs.

Best In Southern California!

Exceptional attorney with a super exceptional team. Extremely knowledgeable on current and future legal challenges both advised and executed legal representation accordingly. We were so impressed with the knowledge and professionalism. Team is graceful, polite and very cordial. We felt we we...re talking to family!

Top bar experience

Excellent services ! I absolutely enjoyed working with Christina. She has a great understanding of the will and trust process and memory of our case. Able to ask questions and she had answers for us. Reasonable priced as well. Definitely recommend her and the services she provides.

Christina Ives Garcia, Esq. has made all the difference!

Christina Ives Garcia, Esq. has made all the difference in our matter, and in so doing, in our lives. Family trusts are no small thing! We started out representing ourselves, but we found the journey to be rather difficult, so we decided to do an Internet search to see if there were any attorneys ...who would help us just to consult, (since we couldn’t afford full-time). In fact, Christina not only helped, but found the true “linchpin” that allowed us to prevail in a matter that could have otherwise been very complicated to win. Her expertise allowed our matter to be simplified — and has accelerated our journey to justice. She’s primarily someone who likes to write an extremely well thought-out trust, but that very expertise is what allowed her to analyze the trust we were contesting, and give us a firm foothold. I recommend her without reservation. Her great care, quick and generous expertise, positive attitude, and her compassion make her an attorney who makes a positive difference in peoples' lives. Trust is more than a document.

Very Helpful and professional

Christina Garcia was helpful with all the numerous issues that came about with my mother's trust. She was there to support me through it with a smile and professional guidance. I can't thank her enough for her hard work in finding the answers we both needed.
