Michael Vance Pevney

I’m an estate planning attorney based in Orange County, California, and I believe that family comes first—both for me as a husband and father, and for the clients I serve. My practice focuses on creating complete estate plans that protect families and reflect their values. I help Californians design living trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and health care directives, with the goal of keeping loved ones out of probate court and minimizing stress during difficult times.

I also guide clients through trust administration and probate when those situations arise, making sure the process is handled with clarity and care. With California’s changing rules, including Prop 19 property tax laws, I work to protect homes and preserve generational wealth.

Clients tell me they value my ability to explain complex issues in plain language and make the planning process approachable. For me, estate planning isn’t just about documents—it’s about helping families find peace of mind and safeguard what matters most.
